Ngiyazi ukuthi ucabangani. Akukho okusalungiswa. Akukaze kube khona okusalungiswa emashumini eminyaka. Bebezovumela amazwe wonke aseMelika Ephakathi ukuba afuduke, akhokhele abantu abahola imali engamaholo ayisithupha, futhi avumele amarobhothi ahambise ama-drones ngaphambi kokuthi adale uhlaka. Amalungu eCrackpot Congress aletha kuphela okusalungiswa njengomcabango wokuqothula amabhange wokuqeda zonke izimpi ezimbi. Yebo, yebo, noma yini. Uhulumeni wakho nokho uthathe isinqumo sokuthi ukubhalisela amadoda uhlaka (kungaba bayathanda noma cha, futhi yize kungekho noyedwa okholelwa ukuthi kuyoke kube nohlaka) kubaluleke kakhulu kunokuvumela ukuba babhalisele ukuvota.
Futhi hhayi uhulumeni wase-US kuphela, kepha iningi lohulumeni bezwe le-50 likhethe lokhu kuqala.
Ungayithathi kimi, bheka ifayili le- izinombolo. Uma ungowesilisa futhi uthola ilayisense yokushayela kunoma iyiphi yalezi zindawo, ubhalise ngokuzenzakalela nge, noma unikezwa ithuba lokubhalisa ngokuzenzakalela nge, noma - ezimweni eziningi - kuyadingeka ukuthi usayine ihambisana neSelection Service System: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana , Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Guam, iCommonwealth yaseNyakatho. Iziqhingi zaseMariana, iPuerto Rico, iVirgin Islands, kanye ne-District of Columbia
Futhi iMaryland yabeka umthetho welayisense yokushayela ngo-2002, kepha awukayisebenzisi.
Lona ngumsebenzi oqhubekayo. Ezinye izifunda kusamele zikhuphuke ebhodini. Kungumsebenzi owengeziwe owenzelwe ohulumeni bezwe nabombuso, kepha ubuchwepheshe buhle impela, futhi babona kucace ukuthi kufanele umzamo wokusabalalisa ukuqwashisa ukuthi bonke abantu kungenzeka babulale egameni lomongameli othile wempi noma iCongress, futhi lokho - njengoba iwebhusayithi ye-SSS isho - “Yilokho Umuntu Okufanele Ukwenze. Kuyashesha, kulula, nguMthetho. ”
Empeleni iphikisana nanoma iyiphi imithetho, kufaka phakathi ukuvikelwa kwalabo abenqaba ukuya empini ngenxa kanembeza (awunikelwanga noma ikuphi ukukhetha lapho inqubo izenzekela), futhi kufaka phakathi nemithetho emelene nempi - iKellogg-Briand Pact kanye ne-UN Charter.
Kepha lokhu kuhlangene ngani nokuvota? Ukucekela phansi i-Iraq noma iLibya noma i-Afghanistan noma i-Yemen egameni “lentando yeningi” akukhona ngqo ngokuvota e-United States, akunjalo?
Nakhu isivumelwano. Izifundazwe ezimbili - amabili (2), count 'em, TWO - asanda kwenza ukubhaliswa kwabavoti kube lula njengoba izifundazwe ezingama-39 zenza ukubhaliswa okubhaliwe. Lezo zizwe ezimbili zikwenza kube ngokuzithandela. Uma ungafuni ukubhalisela ukuvota lapho uthola ilayisense yokushayela, ungakhetha ukuphuma. Ngakho-ke, lokho kwehlukile. Futhi kusebenza abesifazane nabesilisa. Ngakho-ke, lokho kwehlukile, futhi kulula. Futhi asikho isidingo sokuxhumana nohulumeni wesifundazwe, ukuze futhi, kwehluke futhi kube lula. Kepha ngaphandle kwalokho isivumelwano esifanayo. Isigaba sikahulumeni sezimoto sikukhomba ukuthi ungaba nelayisense lokushayela noma i-ID ngokusebenzisa inqubo eqinile kunaleyo evame ukusetshenziswa ukubhalisa abavoti. Ngemuva kokwenza lokho, awukho omunye umsebenzi owengeziwe wokucabanga ukuthi ubhalisele ukuvota futhi.
Zimbili kuphela izifundazwe ezenze lokhu. Uma ungathanda ukubona ukuthi yiziphi ezimbili, noma uma ungathanda ukuchofoza inkinobho ukuthumela i-imeyili izishayamthetho zakho zombuso kanye nombusi ngokwenza okufanayo, Chofoza lapha.
Manje, uhulumeni wesifundazwe akazenzi izincwadi zokushayela, kepha wenza izinombolo Zokuphepha Komphakathi, futhi yena nezinye izikhungo eziningi bathembele ezinombolweni Zokuphepha Komphakathi njengendlela ethembekile yokukhomba. Akunasizathu sokuthi umuntu onenombolo Yezokuphepha Komphakathi akakwazi ukuthathwa njengokufanele ukuvota. (Ukwenza isiqiniseko sokuthi abantu abasi-8 abazama ukushayela bevota ezindaweni ezingaphezu kwesisodwa bayabanjwa kuzofana nokuthi lokho sekwenziwe kanjani manje.) Uhulumeni wesifundazwe ukhetha ukungakwenzi lokhu. Ohulumeni bakahulumeni abangamashumi amane nesishiyagalombili kanye nezindawo ezahlukahlukene ezithathiwe bakhetha ukungakwenzi lokhu, noma ngabe kuzoba lula kakhulu ukwedlula ukubhaliswa kokubhaliswa futhi yize ukuxhumana kwaso nentando yeningi uqobo kuqondile kakhulu.
Okungenani isigamu sezwe sidelelekile kahle womabili amaqembu amakhulu ezepolitiki nawo wonke amalungu awo akhethiwe. Futhi iningi lamalungu e-US House of Representatives ahlanganiswe ngezimali futhi axhaswe ezihlalweni zawo ngokwengeziwe noma ngaphansi kwempilo noma kuze kube yilapho enyuselwa kwiligi yokubamba iqhaza. Kepha umbono ojwayelekile uphethe, ukuthi, ukuvota okuphezulu kuba ngcono kumaDemocrats kunamaRepublican. Lezi zifundazwe zombili ezenze kuze kube manje zikwenzile lokho ngezishayamthetho zedemokhrasi nababusi. Kepha amazwe amaningi entando yeningi awakaze enze okuthile, futhi izinzuzo zokubamba zingaba kakhulu kwintando yeningi-d.
Njengoba kunabavoti abaningi, abantu abazovotelwa kuzodingeka bancenge abantu abaningi, kubandakanya nabampofu kakhulu. Abazongena ngaphezulu bangathola ubuciko. Ububanzi bempikiswano buzokwanda. Futhi kuzoba lula ukubeka imizamo yomphakathi ekuvoteni ngenqubo yokuqoqa abasayineli bevoti. Ukuvota kwezepolitiki kuzobonisa kahle imizwa yomphakathi, ngoba abavoti bayoba nabavoti abaningi ababhalisele ukuvota.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, uhulumeni ngamunye wezwe angonga izindleko zesistimu engenangqondo ekhona "yokubhalisa" abantu asebevele ebazi nasebabonile. Lokhu kuzokhulula isikhathi namandla nemali yezinye izinto. "Masibanike [abantu] imiqulu ngokuzenzakalela bese sibeka yonke imithombo namandla esiwafakile ekubhaliseni abavoti ekufundiseni ukuvota," kusho uNobhala Wombuso waseCalifornia u-Alex Padilla.
Ngeke kube ohulumeni bezwe abenza lokho. Njalo ngenkathi yokhetho, izinkulungwane zamavolontiya amaqembu ezepolitiki kanye nabazongenela ukhetho ezweni lonke bachitha amahora angapheli bebhalisa abantu ukuthi bavote. Bacabanga ukuthi lokhu kungumsebenzi owusizo. Abaningi baze bacabange ngakho “njengobushoshovu.” Ake sithi umsebenzi ususwe. Yini engenziwa yilezo zinkulungwane zamavolontiya? Bangakwazi ukufundisa nokuhlela bezungeze izingqinamba nezinqubomgomo abazikhathalelayo. Yeka isipho sentando yeningi lokho okungaba yiso! Kungcono kunanoma isiphi isigaxa sangaphandle esinegazi esingacabanga!
