Ok, I admit this week’s directive is going to be a challenge!! And I HOPE I’m up for it!
So… democratic…how I am supposed to tie this to jeans, or ever come up with something unique.. everything I think of I feel like will be old and played out.. WHAT TO DO?!??! Getting a bit scared..
hmm.. – Just what does democratic mean… Well, I guess obviously our minds will turn to government. We always talk about democratic.. republican.. democracy.. but what is it…
Do we live in a democratic society… well NO — but we always hear about it…how does it tie into our lives. Don’t things always seem to come down to Democratic or Republican…
Well… it is “For the REPUBLIC for which..” Technically ( at least to my understanding) The Federal Government is a Constitutional Republic, meaning that we are at the mercies of these deciding bodies..
BUT the individual states are representative democracy’s… BLAH BLAH BLAH
In a democracy the majority wins… and each state has the opportunity to vote for their representatives, “these decision makers” and to vote for the president.. but the electoral college has the rep. of sort of fucking that whole popular.. majority.. you know..
So I pondered this whole concept.. trying to avoid the stereotypical democratic colors, symbols, themes… I am trying to think of something unique… and am horrified that I have to do this 4 more times!!!
Then it came to me.. a vote.. or poll does technically tie in with democratic.. so..
I turned to good old Facebook..
I decided to take a vote.. I Posted this vote on Thursday and waited until Friday so that It gave me some time to get some votes.
Above are half of the results, I also polled another group and have added their votes into the results below.
My results are
Other : 29
Levi’s : 15
I could give a shit: 12
Lucky : 3
Diesel: 2
Wrangler: 1
Ok so, how I actually was planning to tie this in was that I seriously thought that the majority would choose or “vote for” I don’t give a shit.. however I was wrong.. but it still did get a large amount. What I was GOING TO conclude this post with was that the “ I don’t give a shits” represent the people who hold up our only attempt at least trying to embrace as much democratic ideals in this nation as we can. By this I mean those people who don’t choose one way or another on an issue.. It doesn’t even have to be politics… with anything the loose end is always those undecided.. not interested people… COME ON PEOPLE THINK AND ENGAGE PLEASE.. I don’t care what you think or who you engage with .. but do something..
But I had to be proven wrong and those people had to just go ahead and actually vote on my poll.. and screw up my results.. HOW DARE THEY! Haha
Well while I am on this rant.. wouldn’t it sometimes be nice if there was an “OTHER” on a ballot…and I’m not talking a write in..because unless you live in a 100 person town that is usually as useful and sitting on your ass watching tv.. JUST SAYING
