the politics of eggs

i consider myself a politically minded dude. but as of late, i've grown tired of talking politics with others. it's all so ineffective and pointless. no one shows up with a flexible opinion or point of view. people don't change their minds anymore and sometimes i wonder if they ever did. the problem is that our whole system is flawed. they've rigged the whole thing into a two team game. we've been polarized and divided, forced to pick a side, put on a uniform, and adopt an 'us vs. them' attitude.

we can't change the landscape through meaningless conversation. they're not listening and we're definitely not screaming loud enough. we need to snap out of it and realize that they're no longer working for us and depending on who's funding the bankroll, sometimes they're working directly against our best interests.

if only americans were more prone to throwing eggs. then the people would finally have a filibuster of their own. imagine congressmen, senators, and judges doing the work of the people knowing full well that we're watching and waiting on them to slip. they'll work for us and our best interests if it takes eggs to their faces every time they slight us.

maybe then a politician would think twice before they pick up their next blank check from whatever faceless corporation is currently in the act of trying to purchase our government. maybe then they'd be hard pressed to send american troops into battle without extremely good reasons. maybe then they'd think long and hard next time they try to cram their religion into your daily routine.

if a politician fails you completely, show them your patriotic gratitude with a furious egging. never let up till that politician learns or leaves. let them know that disapproval is so much more than a meaningless poll with a spiffy graphic on cnn.  let this be the new american tradition. we could take our country back, one egg at time.
