Real voting requires some sort of investment, intellectually, in the topics one is voting for.<BR/><BR/>If you're simply going to vote in order to vote, you're doing everyone a disservice, especially those of us that do put in the time to at LEAST read a newspaper semi-frequently. I don't want your vote canceling my vote.<BR/><BR/>There is nothing dishonorable in abstaining, especially if you do not know anything about the material. I think this is just as good of an option as being engaged and voting, at least pragmatically (though ideally, everyone would care).<BR/><BR/>The worst thing you can do is act as some sort of lever-pulling monkey simply trying to get the "I voted" sticker.Robert Kundahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04795192698199602925noreply@blogger.com
