Phone call...

[jsbowden]

I answered the phone yesterday that showed a CID I didn't recognize and since it wasn't unknown/unknown (The Mark of the Beast^WTelemarketer), I figured it was a real person.

I had my chance. I could have affected the outcome. I could have participated.

Oh wait, all I could have done was waste my time answering biased questions designed to sway me in some silly fucking political poll. Instead I was rude and told the caller to fuck off and die. I don't feel remotely bad about this. It's my phone. It's for my convenience. I pay for it. People who call me take their chances.

It's tempting to stop by the registrar and submit an absentee ballot so I don't have to bother come The Day, but considering how much shit you see about how both sides tamper; I'd hate for my pointless vote to disappear and never be counted since it was for the wrong lizard.

I really fucking hate how the politicians exempted themselves from the Do Not Call rules. My personal feeling is that hypocrisy that blatant is justification for lining them up against the wall, breaking out the AK-47s, and solving the incumbent problem once and for all.

Never mind me though, I'm just cranky.

Do the responsible thing. When they call you with a political poll, lie. Lie a lot. If just 2% of the population lied to pollsters, it would throw their whole process into the crapper. Especially now, when everything is so close.

The only phone surveys I don't lie on are the ones about which radio stations do you listen to.
