It been some time since I wrote a post of any length. It seems like a blog hop is an great way of doing a blog. BLOG HOP....A blog hop is an online networking event where bloggers in a similar niche write posts on a common theme and link to each other’s sites.
I decided to give FRIENDLY FEEL IN. for some reason I believe I done this before. But it been more than a decade. So here goes.
I would be willing to pay more for CREATIVE SUPPLIES.
I refuse to spend money on PORN AND POLITICS.

I decided to answer to question form past blog post. At this time I'm going to answer a question from, HELS , and her question is Is voting compulsory in local elections? Voting isn't compulsory any place in the United States, to the best of my knowledge. I know people who never register to vote or cast ballot. Most of them claim to be anti- government. Personally I find this being pro- government. The reason they are freely letting people rule there life. What I notice they use government program. And if their government benefits gets cut they wine the loudest. OPIOION TIME...I FIND THOSE WHO VOTE IS MORE ANTI-GOVERMENT THAN THOSE WHO VOTE. THEY'RE LETTING WHO EVERY CONTROL THERE LIFE.
Our county of Boundary county has about 8,500 register voters. And in our we had roughly 3,500 voter show up to cast a ballot. So about 28% showed up.
I don't have any issue of of register to vote, and showing identification. OPIOION TIME.... I WOULDN'T HAVE ANY ISSUE HAVING COMPULSORY VOTING, AND ALSO HAVING VOTING THOUGH OUT JAIL AND PRISON SYSTEM.
I mention about people using the government benefits. We use social security, Medicare, and heating assistant.
I'm a fan of history, of all genres of it. So last night I was looking though my dad Grandmother on his paternal side. Not going into her history much. But I looked up the town she was born VanHornville, New York. I was wondering the history of the name VanHornville. Her two siblings was born in Dowagiac, Michigan.
My Great Grandmother Isadora (Dora) is the one in dark blouse, her sister Jeannie is in light blouse, and her brother Charles in the back.
Not sure which a.i program I turn my great grandmother, and her sibling into clown.
VanHornville... The surname Van Horne is Dutch, meaning "from Hoorn" — referring to the city of Hoorn in North Holland, Netherlands, one of the great Dutch trading cities of the Golden Age. Horn in Dutch refers to a horn-shaped peninsula or cape of land. So Van Hornesville literally means "the town of the man from Hoorn, Netherlands" — a tiny New York hamlet named after a Dutch city across the Atlantic.
Dowagiac Michingan...The name Dowagiac comes from the Potawatomi Indian word Ndowagayuk, meaning "foraging ground," reflective of the area's abundant supply of wild game, fruit, vegetables, grain, and medicinal herbs.
I'm hooking up with FRIDAY FACE
Murphy and I went at lunch at senior center, and we got three bags of groceries. It helps. Did one load of wash, and general cleaning. Worked on my essay about journals. And did some creative journaling. About the youngest Granddaughter birthday party back on the 9th of May.

On the way home I stop and got two photos of early afternoon sky picture. Here is the LINK

Those were good answers, all of them. I hope you have a really nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteWise words about voting, and yes, they will still line up for government benefits and no doubt scream if they are taken away, yet take no responsibility for who runs their lives.
ReplyDeleteI like your last cloud photo.
I enjoyed reading your answers. You're right, people who don't vote are letting everyone else run their lives.
ReplyDeleteToo many people just choose not to vote. And then complain about how things aren't the way they want it.
ReplyDeleteI don't know anyone who doesn't vote, but I know there are out there. Too many people like that are out there. Sadly.
ReplyDelete...if civics were taught in schools, hopefully students would understand the importance of voting and political engagement.
ReplyDeleteMy thinking is that if you give up your right to vote, you also give up your right to complain.
ReplyDeleteThank you for participating in the fill-ins, great answers. I am glad you can always see the positive. I am that way too. :)
ReplyDeleteThose are some cool blog hops you found! And I enjoyed the photos of your ancestors. The only place I know of where voting is compulsory is Australia, but I think more places should try a law like that. We don't have compulsory voting in Canada, but Canadians in jail or prison do have the right to vote -- our courts held that, under our Charter of Rights and Freedoms, imprisonment can not remove their right to do so. I think that's the correct situation to have.
ReplyDeleteI’ve always voted in every election: federal, provincial or municipal.
ReplyDeleteWise words.
ReplyDeleteLove your fill-ins! 3 groceries from senior center for free? that's very generous of them.
