New Bill Would Add “None of the Above” Option To Election Ballots

State Senator Branden Petersen of Minnesota has recently proposed a bill that would place a “None of the Above” option on the state’s election ballots.
“This would give people an opportunity to really make a strong statement in rebuke of the present dynamic. It would be an honest check on the two-party system. This gives people a chance to legitimately voice their opinion,” Petersen said in a statement.
This new proposal brings up an interesting question though. Are politicians even needed at all?
When a problem occurs or when something is wrong we have traditionally been conditioned to find someone who is “in charge”, a final arbiter of decision-making who will have all of the answers and know all of the right things to say and do.
Typically, those who have found themselves “in charge” are no more qualified or knowledgeable than those who are not, yet nonetheless these false prophets continue to swindle generation after generation of people.
The worst thing about this whole situation is that these so called “authorities” maintain a monopoly on problem solving, meaning they are really the only ones who are allowed to solve problems. Thus over time people begin to believe that those in authority are the only ones who are actually capable of solving problems, when in reality, they are no more qualified than anyone else.
