Dear Friends and Followers:
Big Dope is out walking so I take this opportunity to
communicate without his interference. As usual, I am mentally confused by the
presence of a difficult problem or matter. (Editor’s
note: He means “puzzled.”
I ran across the following photograph on your book of faces
site.
Now, as understand it, some members of your species want to
hire an assassin to rid the populace of anyone voting who is unqualified for
the privilege.
I understand not wanting people like J. Gordon Liddy, Chuck
Colson, Oliver North, and John Poindexter to vote, but shooting them? Seems a
bit strict, but you Americans know what kind of government you want.
Now though, how do you assassinate Mickey Mouse or Donald
Duck? Would it be cruel to inform the sponsors of voter suppression legislation
that both are cartoon figures?
Dead people? Seem messy to dig them up and shoot them, but
why not? Lots of folks around here love to shoot guns and it might keep them
from killing helpless animals.
The problem is: according to my research, the actual amount
of voter fraud in your country is negligible.
When confronted with this data, sponsors of voter suppression
legislation say they are acting to prevent something they imagine might happen.
My question is, purely as an alien observing your country:
if one desires to craft legislation designed to prevent something that they
imagine might happen, wouldn’t it be more productive to imagine that:
- The water and wastewater plants in the country will fail
for lack of resources.
- Bridges in the country will begin to collapse for lack of maintenance.
- Nearly 20 percent of children go to bed hungry each day.
- Global warming will make Pine Bluff, Arkansas a seaport.
And finally, if there is voter fraud, the fact that such legislation
is being passed seems to indicate to me, again just an observing alien, that it
is not happening among the ranks of thoughtful voters, dead people, or cartoon
characters. That just leaves felons.
Your Friend
C.W.
