The Consequence of your votes

Back in 2000, the U.S. economy was still booming. Yes, the dot-com was about to burst, but yet most of us were feeling pretty good whether you were investing in the stock market, or it just seems like a whole lot easier to find your next job with a good raise. It was so cool in the good old day.

At that time, most Americans, as I will say it, were fat-dumb-and-happy. Money and jobs were abundant, you and your friends were happily wealthy, you and your employer were making tons of money (except those dot-com), the federal government was running at a surplus. The country had so much fun and so much time on our hand that it decided to go impeach the President for sex or maybe simply we haven't impeached a President for over a hundred. So, that must be fun.

The country was so silly and so lazy that it voted (yes, there were cheating involved, but it shouldn't even be closed at all) for a man who had little to no experience, no accomplishments, and no intellectual capabilities, I don't mean in governing but in life altogether. Yet, his qualification was the man who people like to have a beer with. American people were too lazy to learn about their candidate and the political process, thus the biggest blunder of the history of the United States.

In 7+ year, an incapable President has brought the greatest, the wealthiest, and the most powerful country in the history to today's brink of bankruptcy and a country of irrelevant in the world. Wow, can you do that in 7 years. You bet. Now, do you think the President of the United States is important? Do you think every vote is important? Do you think your vote is important? Think again.

Imagine, fifty years or a hundred years from now, what will our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren think of us when they study the 2000 election. "Why were those people in 2000 so stupid to ever vote an idiot like George W. Bush?"

Good question, my grandchildren. We were fat-dumb-and-stupid. Remember, don't ever let that mistake happen again. Go learn about the political process and vote!
