Misguided Rants

When I went to vote at the local elementary school, they had, as they often do, a bakesale in front of the school gym. An older, bearded gentleman, chose this as the forum to complain about his tax burden. He shook his fist and railed at the audacity of the ladies selling the dainties, when our city has been raking in ungodly property taxes to construct a new high school. Now come on, fella.... I'm not a big fan of taxes either, and I understand your frustration at rich communities like ours always voting for Prop 2 1/2 overrides, but you gotta pick and chose your battles. You aint winning any glorious victories at a 5th grade bake table.

I went to the same bake sale. I didn't have any money, though. I felt really bad, plus I kinda wanted a cupcake. I never get any crusty old ranters, though. Even my landlady met a conservative old dude at the polls today... where are my anecdotal old folk? sigh...
