OK this is an exciting time for me. I’m attempting to use word dictation. I’ve used it before and it wasn’t easy. But I want to get better at it. My most recent experience that I think deserves to be in the angry old man website is very contemporary and very important at this very time in history.

I’ve lived in Thailand as I’ve told you for over 10 years before that I lived in Reston VA also for about 10 years at that time I was employed by the Department of State and had a worldly experience serving in smaller embassies. But as a younger man I was a very active voter and I rarely missed elections. In fact I even was deeply involved in the George McGovern presidential campaign and helped him to win my community in the suburbs of Cleveland Oh and at that time family became more important politics fell by the wayside but I still wanted to vote especially now in 87 years old and crazy things are going on in America maybe I’ll talk about that later maybe I won’t but I have a story to tell that fits perfectly with the angry old man’s concerns I’ve mentioned before. I knew I could register and vote in America now in 2024. The process is to go online to register.

After you register I or you will receive a ballot and you return that ballot and that’s your vote. It doesn’t sound complicated does it and about two weeks ago I filled out paperwork for my registration. And emailed it off according to the instructions and in a few days just after American Labor Day. I got a reply back telling me I wasn’t registered wow!  That starts to sound like the other experiences I’ve had in the angry old man website. What could be the problem? They asked me to give me the apartment number of my address. Oh boy.  If supplying that was all I needed to do to get my registration completed in the Fairfax County Board of Elections, then they would send me my ballot which I could go ahead and submit. I would be a voter again after skipping several years without voting.

There was one problem. When I was in Virginia for most of the time there I was the owner of a very nice condominium. It had three bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a dining room and a big living room and it cost several $100,000. I frankly told them I don’t remember ever having an apartment number frankly I never had an apartment it was a pretty damn nice kind of condominium. Even suggesting that me and all my neighbors around me where we lived had an apartment that required an apartment number many of us would even be insulted at the thought.

A couple of days later I got another email from the Fairfax County Board of Elections and what they said was to ask something else I don’t really remember what it was it was frivolous but they also asked me for my Social Security number because I’m getting ready to write about the Social Security system that I’m involved with where I’m asking questions and getting no answers I am very aware of Social Security there are many websites including some specifically from the Social Security Administration that warned you and me and especially all elderly people to never give up our Social Security number to anyone one reason is that there is recent evidence that possibly all Social Security information Has been stolen or something and it has been given to the dark web – the dark web -And offered for sale Well. Isn’t that 

exciting. Well let’s step back a minute to why I’m trying to vote once again I said it’s a crazy time in American politics one of the things I’ve seen on the Internet is that there seems to be people who are traditionally volunteers with the election board operating the Fairfax County elections and elections all over the country frankly, are giving up that traditional volunteer activity because of the potential of violence and threats in the current(2024) election. And in some ways this kind of danger is deliberate. Many of the Most extreme fans of one presidential candidate are taking advantage of taking new positions on local election boards. This may be the case in Fairfax County as they struggle to ask some stupid questions before they can allow me to vote this time.

Instead of organizing his most fervent fans, a losing candidate does not need to send them in a fury to attack the Congress while they’re trying to count the votes which is exactly what happened in 2020. Maybe that’s exactly what I’m experiencing it maybe not but it could very well be exactly what I am experiencing when they’re slowing down the process making it difficult asking questions that I can’t answer frankly this will waste time it’ll make me wait for my ballot and maybe I’ll be too late to vote many people might be affected in the very same way a candidate has a lot of financial support and certain kinds of people who want him to be a president.

That seems to be the case in this election many billionaires and business leaders want their way and this seemingly crazy weird presidential candidate is obviously a very bad candidate but he is a bit of a celebrity popular with certain numbers of people. And in that way he’s just a figurehead to become president to serve the goals of the people paying his way and presenting him with things they want to accomplish. This is very very clear on the Internet where the things that he’s expected to do if he is elected are very extreme and different from our way of life here in the United states my anguish right now is that I simply can’t not understand why anybody would vote for this candidate and those members of his party that are also very extreme as well.

So I think this is very much a issue that fits my explanation of what the angry old man website is about I’d like to have your comments if you’re in love with this crazy candidate and you’re want to tell me I just don’t understand or call me by name threaten to kill me OK OK a lot of that is going on. If you understand what I’m saying, I am personally experiencing this kind of situation where technology, Where people with dangerous motivations. Could bring harm to all of us

my mission at the angry old man website is to raise a large number of people who will speak up in behalf with me regarding the four issues way up at the beginning of the angry old man website maybe the very biggest is the 4th suggestion that we should make demands that organizations including political parties frankly make sure that our elderly and everybody has interaction with real people bring back the people to people’s reactions everywhere.

If you don’t wanna hear about my American election experience that’s OK But tell me your own experience if you wish. contact me on the COMMENT  section at the Angry Old Man website.  If you have a lot to say, as I just did here, contact me John Kane ,the Angry   Old Man and give you more here – Or we will disagree so strongly that I will personally throw yours out.  

In the meantime, vote for the candidate that makes sense to you.  

Traditional in person voting day

in the USA is November 5th, 2024.
