What's more important?

[KaliTracy]

In every transaction we make
at stores, at restaurants, at banks
computers record and calculate,
run reports at the end of the shift,
keep tally of our money.

Isn't your vote more important
than the money you spend?

We don't question our cashiers, we
trust them with our change,
and the machines tell them hundreds
of times a day how much to give back.

Isn't your vote more important
than the money you spend?

What if the machines broke down
throughout the day, gave you too much
money at the ATM, told you your balance
was zero at the bank, how would you feel?

Would you be outraged?

Why are we so complacent
to such an important event as electing
a person who is control of whether our sons and daughters
and fathers and mothers go elsewhere to fight
for democracy in another country

When it is questionable if we have it here.

2. Thought Provoking

Computers have become so integrated into our daily lives we don't question them anymore. We are becoming like the zombie robots who sit in front of television all night and don't question what they see/hear there.

3. I found DU because of the election.

Imagine this on the back of a tee-shirt. For getting others to think....

What’s more important to you…
The fact that we can order hamburgers
almost without incident throughout the country
from the same franchise on any given day...

Or the fact that on election day
the machines in charge of keeping our votes

broke down, voted wrong, registered thousands
of votes for Bush, switched votes from Kerry
to Bush, lost thousands of votes (in more than
one precinct), and that

one of the companies responsible
pledged a win for Bush – and just happens to
make most of the ATM machines in the country.


I’ll have fries and a cola with that.
