Comments on: this is really well done, kids https://archives.lessig.org/?p=3617 2002-2015 Tue, 07 Oct 2008 02:58:34 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.7.2 By: Kilroy https://archives.lessig.org/?p=3617#comment-25583 Tue, 07 Oct 2008 02:58:34 +0000 http://lessig.org/blog/2008/10/this_is_really_well_done_kids.html#comment-25583 If you watch the whole video you realize that both sides of “the aisle” are represented. One celebrity talks about “gun control” another talks about the “First Amendment, Second Amendment..”.
Another celebrity talks of having “19 kids, never used abortion” (or a condom, apparently), still another talks about “abortion rights.”

The message of the video is supposed to be, if you are concerned about an issue, register, and vote.

A bit of a pity the petty poster had to start a row about Democrats vs Republicans.

But if you told the uninsured 20-somethings and cheering crowds that THEY were going to have to pay $300/month for all or some of their congressional-quality health care, they would not vote or might even vote for McCain.

You would also bore most with serious issues.

‘I would register to vote but I just don’t want to do jury duty.'”

This is a myth. Last time I went for jury duty it was explained to me that not registering only exempts you from federal duty, but not state (where the majority of jury duty is served). Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but the first time I was called for jury duty was years ago at the age of 19, and I hadn’t registering yet.

I decided to change the name of our country to the United Liberal Democratic States. I am tired of the Bi Partisan wars. It seems that it is a fight for party not for country.
Our country as we know it is deteriorating. My heart aches and Bleeds for America.
If we do not put up a fight and stand up the politicians will destroy us. Why is everyone in line to buy I phones and is not out screaming bloody murder
