Damn you to hell, 18 to 24 year olds!

Way to go kids! You decided that you had better things to do than vote in the most important election in a gazillion years. I guess you just couldn't put down the Red Bull and tear yourselves away from "TRL" or the latest release of "Grand Theft Auto."
Those of you that bothered to show up to vote, voted for a change to the current regime by a significant margin. Thank you. But the fact is that the same percentage of you showed up for this election as did in 2000. And that just stinks. You'd think things in the world were still the same based on your apathetic attitude toward our hard won right to vote. But, just in case you didn't know, a few things have happened in the real world in the past four years:

• Our current President--who can't even pronounce the words "nuclear" or "Americans"--was installed by the Supreme Court after a disputed vote count in the state where his brother is governor.
• We were attacked by terrorists on 9/11/01, and about 3,000 people died in a matter of hours.
• We led a pre-emptive invasion of a country based on the fact that our government told us that they had "weapons of mass destuction" that were an immediate threat to the U.S. and, oops, there were no weapons of mass destruction, but that guy they installed as president still believes we're justified in being there.
• We pissed off pretty much every ally we've ever had by our government's obsessive, unilateral march to "spread freedom" in Iraq.
• Over 1,100 American troops--overwhelmingly made up of people in your age group--have died in Iraq. Over 70,000 have been injured. And, guess what: There is no exit strategy.
• Genocide is occuring in Sudan--not unlike what happened in Rwanda in 1999 (Didn't we learn anything from that?)--and we really don't give a damn because there's no oil there for us to care about.
• There's still a global AIDS crisis, but advocating safer sex through condom use is still a no-no because of our country's "moral stance".
• "The Terminator" is now the governor of one of our most populous states, and still says stuff like "I'll be back," "Girlie men," and "Pump you up" on a regular basis. And people think that's cool.
• Martha Stewart is in jail while Ken Lay runs free.
• Americans are still the fattest people on the planet.

So, 18 to 24 year olds: WAKE UP YOU LAZY F*CKS! YOU'RE GOING TO INHERIT THIS MESSED UP COUNTRY AND ALL OF ITS DEBT AND THE WORLDWIDE HATE TOWARD US THAT'S BEING FOSTERED BY OUR GOVERNMENT'S FORIEGN POLICY AND HAWKISH ATTITUDE. THE LEAST YOU COULD DO IS ACT HALF-WAY INTERESTED, GET OFF YOUR ASSES AND VOTE.

Okay. I feel better now. I guess I can get started on building that bunker in the back yard now...
