We’re all for citizenship and all—we would even consider ourselves to be citizenship geeks. We love voting (of course) and jury duty (jury opportunity, we like to call it). We love the Post Office and even the DMV (especially those the traces of the Eisenhower era that remain here and there in those temples of citizenship… call it a fetish).
But in perusing our Voter Information Pamphlet today, we realized that the system is broken. We had to spend nearly three minutes thinking about whether or not there should help pay for stables in Golden Gate Park, and people, that is just plain wrong.
So just to clarify:
1. Yes, we only looked at the ballot today. Citizenship may be our hobby, but procrastination is a way of life.
2. What’s wrong again? The fact that we had to spend almost two hundred precious seconds of our short lives thinking about this ballot measure.
What to do? After the jump.
