I'm so shocked...

And flabbergasted, and gobsmacked and a little pissed. I was at the gym not 20 minutes ago, and I'm lost in my thoughts loosely listening to the old ladies blather on about their grand kids, sugarbetes (diabetes I think) and other crap they yammer on about, when one old lady says "...and the lines were so long for early voting, they should have never given women the right to vote". (Waving smelling salts under your noses)The woman was at least 75. Probably her mother didn't have the right to vote until shortly before she was born, forgive the lack of accuracy on the dates, I'm just so shocked at this woman ignorance.I felt like walking over there and kicking her but back into the dark ages. Can you imagine???????

OMFG, someone should run right up to her and take away all of the rights she has not due to people fighting for women's rights. I an suprised you could even think straight long enough to functionally breath.

What is wrong with people? Yeah, I think I would have been giving her the stink eye on that one.

If she felt that way, why was SHE voting? How would SHE know about the long lines? What was she even doing there?
Bitch.

I kinds wondered the same thing Manic. So why doesn't she just choose not to vote? If she doesn't like the lines, she has every right to choose not to go. I don't know either.
