Elections, and the mythical free lunch
Now, back to the election. Even if I knew what it is about or when it is, chances of me voting are highly unlikely. This is because I know nothing about any of the candidates, their platforms, or why I should vote for any of them.
Thing is, local voters are looking for one simple thing: A free lunch. Unfortunantly, there aint no such thing as a free lunch. The politicians know this, but the people don’t - they expect a free lunch, so they are promised that.
Entire campaigns are built around that promise.
So, I already know TANSTAAFL. Therefore, theres nothing any politician can really tell me that would make me vote for them, except perhaps, the truth.
Yeah. Right.

It’s not just the free lunch pal, more importantly it’s the free booze which comes in the evening!That’s what motivates them!

err.. niroshan i don’t think null here meant that ‘free lunch’, bt anyway it is basically the same.
