Vote Abby Stention `04
What is the benefit of going out to vote for "just anyone" ... the lesser of a field of status quo wannabe's ... that compels you to vote when there IS no one to vote for, and no system in place to improve your choices?
If you feel you simply MUST vote in November. I cannot, for the life of me, see why. Many people judge me as being unpatriotic for refusing to vote, but they then offer me no legitimate incentives TO vote.
Voting when the candidates are insufficient and the system, itself, is bankrupt, is like a man riding a bus through Las Vegas. Upon realizing where he is, he jumps off of the bus and goes to a casino to leave his road money at the tables. When asked why he did that, the now-impoverished man, climbing ashamedly back aboard the bus to continue his journey, replies, "Isn't that what we are 'supposed to do' at this time and in this place?"
Vote for change. Abstention is a time-honored part of a voting process. And when enough people refuse to drink the bipartisan voting "tea," genuine revolution, (please, Almighty, a bloodless one) can occur.
