This is some weird doublespeak logic right here.

Thats like saying only people who commit crimes have the right to bitch about the state of the prison system in the united states.

"ONLY THE PEOPLE WHO PARTICIPATE IN THE CORRUPT INCOMPETENT GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE ABLE TO COMMENT ON IT"

uh....i dont participate BECAUSE its corrupt and incompetent. And i have every right to bitch about the state of the system while declining participation. Arent we supposed to be the land of freedom of speech?

Or do you only get that "right" when you play along with the system?

We do participate in the corrupt systems. It's called paying taxes.

I quit voting after the 1980 presidential elections and didn't vote again until 2004. Things got shittier in between. Nothing works. Stay stoned.
