just got home from some after work events...including discharging my civic duty...yep...election day...and the most useless and patently foul abuse of "the people's will" since the federalist papers or the seventeenth communist party congress in 1934...only three delegates crossed off kirov's name on the ballot but stalin won the election and somewhere over a thousand of the delegates were arrested during the following purges and many just plain disappeared...kirov was assassinated by some stalinist patsy and that left only trotsky to clean up...stalin's boys acted quickly to cover up the embarassing defeat and the covert party revolt was ruthlessly crushed...lake county doesn't need the nkvd or yagoda or beria to keepa lid on dissent...the party has less violent methods here...in two pages of ballot in the democratic ( oh please! ) primary i believe i saw three races in which the candidate was not running unopposed ( pete visclosky for instance was the only name on the ballot for district representative...my vote...or abstention for that matter...reduced to farce )...even stalin had kirov's name on the ballot for form's sake...and i have to wonder if that damned ass hamilton would have disapproved of any of it.
