Rita: Vote on Tuesday, November 4. Lolita: Vote on Tuesday, November 4. Rita: Whom you vote for is up to you, but make sure you vote for the candidates who will improve the conditions we now have. Don’t ever forget that those we elect are public servants. They are there to follow our lead. Somewhere along the line this has gotten out of whack. Imagine going to a restaurant where the wait staff purposely brought you food you didn’t order. Would you just eat it, or send it back? Too many people have been just chowing down. It’s time to send the unwanted food back and better yet, close down the restaurant. Lolita: What restaurant are we shutting down? I hope it’s not that little crepe place in Allston. Rita: Lolita, it’s just a metaphor. Lolita: Pleeese, don’t take JP Seafood away from me! I’d die without their salmon teriyaki! Rita: Calm down. No one is going to take away your favorite restaurant. But what they will take is your civil liberties, justice, the right to choose, and your money. It’s a sad state of affairs when a political party can run on a platform that promises not to raise or add taxes and then that same party spends billions of your dollars—those dollars are collected through taxes. Lolita: Can we get to the music part of this column? Rita: Sure, go ask this Question of the Month—do you have any plans if one or the other presidential candidate wins the election? Lolita: That’s not very musical. Rita: Look, there’s Roger—you have something to ask him. Lolita: Roger, want to share an order of salmon teriyaki? Rita: She really wants to know if you have any plans in response to who wins the presidential election?
