Change and election

Lately whenever some one saw me, online or physically, they only ask 2 things :-

a. Eh how are you?
b. You going back for elections?

Obviously the sudden surge of (a) was because of the major makeover of my company.

• For those using it as a conversation opener, I prefer you getting straight to the point.
• For those wanting to fish more information, I am also looking for more information.
• For those who repeatedly ask, you are demoralizing me, stop it.
• For those whose sincerity I felt, thank you. I am OK.
• For those who knew but didn't pester me, you understand me.
• For those that are still blur blur, thank God.
• For those who have yet the opportunity to talk to me, I may bark a bit, but I don't bite.

Now (b) is obviously about the 8/3/2009 elections.

• For those who don't know what is election, it's like the Olympics where they have it once every 4 years if there is no riot/war.
• For those who are registered but are not voting, don't complain about the government. It's your fault they are there.
• For those who are of age but did not register to vote, especially the minority, don't complain they are shutting down the schools or you are being slighted. It's your fault your voice is not loud enough.
• For those who wanted to vote and can't made it for whatever reason, you have my sympathy.
• For those who don't know who to vote, you are dangerous.
• For those who voted and lost, you can migrate now.
• For those who voted many times, lost and still have faith, thank you and please come again.

Perhaps it's hanging around too long with a reporter, I just had to shake head helplessly at the people around me who couldn't be bother to exercise their voting rights and yet wouldn't think twice to summom the store manager to complain about the store goods.

It's ok to use your consumer rights but not your citizen rights?
