      It's almost as though the lads had some type of device to peer into the future because they really nailed it with how things are described in many songs off that album and its scary how there can possibly be that many ignorant, blind and easily manipulated people in the US who could even consider him for president. He perfectly epitomises everything that is truly disgusting about humanity.

      True punks are prophets by dissatisfaction. Their dissatisfaction runs so deep, they are able to touch a nerve on the current socio political climate, taste it, and let their inner dissatisfied intuition run it out to its figurative outcome, and then somehow articulate the emotional response into a warning.

    Weird story but kind of cool. After putting hours into that game my parents took me to the mall and let me buy a cd. I wanted to find whoever played It's My Job To Keep Punk Rock Elite. I didn't know the name of the song or band. I basically just knew to look in the Punk section. I picked up their greatest hits and on the way back home I heard it start and was like... damn.

Voting has no bias to any system of government. The importance of voting is that it establishes the representation of the collective whole. It literally prevents direct misrepresentation. Now you can argue the philosophy of mandatory voting, but it doesn't remove the fact that it allows for the people to be represented on their choice. They might have systemic political problems, but that's irrelevant to mandatory voting.
