Opinions on Every Issue

For Democracy to work, the voter must have an opinion on every issue. That way she can cast informed votes. Yes, it is true I have never met Michelle Obama, but in my opinion she is a good person. Her husband is a weak waffler, a Fascist murderer or a thoughtful advocate of gay rights. I know George Zimmerman is a coward and murderer, although I have yet to set foot in Florida.  Without doubt the Palestinians or Israelis deserve my support. I grasp little about fracking, but I'm against it. El Salvador is a mystery to me, but like Noam Chomsky, I am prepared to tell the workers there which political party they must support to avoid being idiots; I say, vote for the one Chomsky prefers. I understand that he has not visited Central America recently, but like me he has opinions, and he is bitter about them, too.  I would write more here, but it is time for me to go into the next room and listen to Pacifica. This afternoon I must decide whom to support in a three-sided genocidal war in Central Asia. I can do that. I have an opinion on every issue.
