So... I find it somewhat funny that there is such a big, "go out and vote, its your duty" push.... I mean... frankly, there are many people that I DO NOT want to vote.... because if you only think about politics once every four years, you are most likely not going to make a decision that has a positive impact on society.... or yourself for that matter.

So.. for the people who fit in that category... and most of which will not know who they are... I sure hope they don't vote.

this coming from a teacher with a social studies degree (those who are supposed to instill civic duty in your teenagers)

I am quite fond of this response.
