Vote.
November 7th, 2006
Just a reminder (to the US citizens* out there) to find your polling place and go vote today. If you don’t like any of the candidates, isn’t there still one that you dislike least? If you feel like the government has gotten off track but don’t particularly like the opposition candidate in your area, well, it’s OK to vote the party and not the person. Most importantly: It is your responsibility, like paying taxes or dry-cleaning your dress shirts or eating a balanced diet, to periodically nudge the government in a way it is powerless to ignore. So be a grown-up and vote.
* That is, except for convicted felons. You’re already screwed, but we here in the US currently see fit to add disenfranchisement to your misery. Sorry about that.
