The Base
The Base. The Base. The Base.
I'm sick and tired of hearing this word bandied about by MSM, of all persuasions.
When did suddenly, we become this abstract, all-encompassing, totally ridiculous umbrella term, which is better suited to guys named Willie and Pete, rounding around?
For goodness' sake, I can't stand being thought of as a base.
It's demeaning -- like just another Social Security number or a statistic flung from the lips of talking heads, which my favourite funk-reggae group, UB40, liked to term, "the 1 in 10".
Please, make this "base" go away. Far, far away.
I'm not a base.
I'm a singularly opinionated, civically-minded citizen with a vote. And so are you.

No one could even think of attaching you with a label and woe to them who would try.
Maybe in the aggregate I fit somewhere but in the voting booth, they can only wonder.

Why would anyone want to be labelled, "The Base", when this organization translates as either 'the base' or 'the foundation'?
(plus, where are the ultranerds with their all your base are belong to us, references?)
