I saw the funniest thing on twitter today…

So one of the people I am following dropped this little gem into my twitter feed earlier

This is a global economy and we deserve a vote

Now – for some background. This unnamed person is from the UK and from what I have seen just doesn’t seem all that politically savvy. What I find quite amusing is this isn’t the first person I have seen this comment from. It seems a great many people all want to vote in our election.

My first thought is these people just have democracy envy. After thinking a little bit more about this I had a few other thoughts. The world has always been a global economy. The idea of ‘global trade’ isn’t exactly a new one. It just happens a bit faster these days. If you follow my friend from the UK’s thinking though the French people should have had a say whom became King of England or some such.

If you want to participate in American politics – you are welcome to immigrate and become a citizen. Until then – you can just watch the fun from the sidelines
