ARE YOU A ZOMBIE?
Are you one of the politically challenged?
- Can you identify the last 3 Presidents of the United States ( or the head of state for the country in which you live)?
- Can you name at least one decision by your topmost legal body, in the US it’s the Supreme Court?
- Do you know how to vote (are there rules about how you get to exercise your right, is it prove you are a citizen, resident, pre-register)?
- Did you vote in your last election if you were able to (being old enough, resident, citizen)?
- Can you engage in a reasonable discussion, without resorting to fallacious arguments, or shouting, about issues that concern you?
If you can say yes to at least 3 of the above questions, consider yourself a political lightweight, if 4 is the number, a political middleweight, and all 5 means you can be considered a candidate (just kidding).
If you cannot answer even one, consider watching, or re-watching Shaun of the Dead, and enjoying the role of bitten/infected. If you would prefer to take up violence against those who argue with you, consider professional help, or immigrating to a country that has similar attitudes, Syria, Iran, Afganistan all seem to have many folks like that, Northern Ireland as well, but they seem to be getting better, and forget South Africa, they’ve beaten that plague and seem to be most healthy these days.
Most people will end up using the dictionary to look up the word fallacious, and most politicians will employ them where ever they seem to provide the most advantage for them. However, being able to spot when they are used is helpful in making informed decisions about who you should vote for, or against.
If you are not a zombie, or worse, a victim of maninquinism run rampant, congratulations, and thank you. It is hard work to maintain a sense of integrity, participation and rationality in these times.
propagate the meme!
