“You Can’t Vote On My Freedom”

(At least, you shouldn’t be able to.)
I was talking to my sister earlier, (I am at home this weekend), and she was explaining that she has to write an essay about when she was discriminated against. I told her that under the concept of Freedom of Association most cases of “discrimination” are, while stupid and mean, not a problem that should be solved through government intervention. (Which is true for most situations. Were we not raised to believe that “violence is not the answer”? Hmm.) Anyway, she asked about voting and voting discrimination, and I made the above statement.

So, John McCain cinched the nomination, and Mike Huckabee dropped out, finally. Well, meh. I don’t really like McCain, but then again, I dont really like anyone in the race right now.

On the Democratic side, Clinton won Ohio and Texas. I recall some pundits predicting that this means that Hillary will now begin a vicious fight with Obama that could potentially split the Democratic Party, or at least damage it. The next few months could be very interesting (read: entertaining) if the predictions of angst over the superdelegates come true. Though, at the end we are still stuck with a competition between people who will most likely push for more regulation.

Maybe I will vote Libertarian in November after all; don’t tell me that I’m throwing away my vote when the mainstream candidates are exactly the same.
