When do you know you are in South Africa?...... when the votes have to be re-counted till the right party wins.
Sound familiar? I can't tell you how often I've had a perfectly good braai spoiled for me by some illiterate, willfully ignorant halfwit proclaiming that the country is "going to the dogs" in one breath and in the next vowing not to vote because "it doesn't make a difference". It just makes me want to vomit my wors back onto the table and go home.
I say if you want to whine about the state of the nation, at least spend the time and energy to register to vote, (and then actually vote) and then you can bitch legitimately that the government is fucking up. Otherwise, you let the rest of the country choose your leadership for you and you have no reason to complain. You never spoke up when given the chance.
And the really funky part about the whole thing is that if one person speaks out, it doesn't make a difference, but if a whole bunch of one persons speak out, they actually get heard.
