SWEET! you have.....wait, what was i talking about?





hey look a bird!

LMAO


... If you already voted, and was walking up to the building to vote, what does it matter if people tried saying stuff to you? I heard stuff from Bush AND Kerry supporters - I simply ignored them, as my vote isn't up to them.

That's just not fair at all! Miniature Dachshunds should have the right - not poodles! :D

And they should be allowed frequent breaks!

Maybe we're "worked" up is because there's a debate going on (one regaurding our next 4 years)... maybe you didn't notice? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.



Regaurding being an informed voter... it can only help you. I don't know as much as I can but I know enough to know where I stand (even if I can't vote ;) ). I watched all three debates and I watch the news. Being informed doesn't mean you know everything; it just means you know if a canidate matches your beliefs or not, IMHO...

A lot of people this year are pounding into our heads the message of “Just Vote”. MTV, P Diddy, Eminem, even little Paris Hilton agrees, it is a crime not to vote (P Diddy will even kill you if you don’t, or so it seems from his Vote or Die shirts). They tell you to “Just Vote” no matter what you vote for, that it is out duty as Americans to vote. A grand message… not.

Voting is not a duty. If that were so, you wouldn’t have to register. Turn 18, vote, or else there will be negative repercussions. This is a duty. Voting is a privilege, a right, one that we cannot take for granted.

As Americans, we tend to do this; we tend to forget that we are a small minority of people around the world who choose their leaders. While we are waiting for election results, many others around the world are waiting for the next cue, for the next military leader to take over. We can’t forget this.

To vote without reason, to vote just because you can, is taking our right for granted. To go into that booth tomorrow with your only formal education on the issues coming from paid advertisements, is to forget that we are privileged. To “Just Vote” is to stomp on the graves of the brave men who fought for our independence. Uninformed voters are the greatest risk to democracy, more than nuclear proliferation, more than terrorists, more than all the evils of the world, because it takes away the meaning, the core, of democracy, the very thing that our enemies want do to.

So I challenge you tomorrow to not “Just Vote” but to vote for something you believe in, and know that those reasons are true. Spend some time tonight going through the issues of this election, not just the national one, but the local ones. Read up, form your opinions based on facts, not advertisements or hear say. Just vote with reasons, not just to vote.

I didn't read any of the other posts, mainly because I don't really have time now, but I totatlly agree with this and I have been "preaching" this to tons of people. People who know nothing about the candidates in any type election should not vote. If you vote, know who you are voting for, don't just pick a person your friend is voting for. It drives me crazy when someone says, 'It doesn't matter, just vote for someone". How is that logical, just vote for someone?
 
I agree- but at the same time I think it's pretty pathetic how many people are so unwilling to do just a little research and take an hour to vote a minimum of every four years. It's pretty difficult not to manage to know SOMETHING about the candidates.
 
It's nice to vote in Wyoming--no stumpers (well, it was 11 F out there yesterday morning ;) ), and no prrof of ID needed. That part actually is a little disturbing, but heck, there's only about 500,000 people in the state, so even if we all voted twice it wouldn't make much of an impact. :D
