    ladr what is wrong with those citizens is that they don't give a *. If they really cared they would vote. They'll get the kind of government they deserve.

    I work with a guy, fifty-two years old, who has never voted in his life. He's real opinionated about things political, he's a gun owner, property owner, but doesn't care enough to register and vote.Everytime he gets to carrying-on about some politician he doesn't agree with, or complaining 'cause taxes are too high, I tell him he might be able to change things if he would bother to vote.I always get the same answer: "It doesn't make any difference who you elect, they're all the same. Republicans, Democrats, just different names for the same crooks."A couple of years ago the citizens of Washington State overwhelmingly passed an initiative measure to lower automobile license tags to a flat-rate of $30.00 per year. Before that they were based on the State's valuation of your vehicle and they were outrageously high.My non-voting working partner recently bought a new Ford 4X4 with every bell and whistle he could get. I asked him how he liked paying 30 bucks to license it instead of the seven to eight hundred he would have paid prior to the passage of the initiative?He told me he thought it was great. I told him he should thank me and the other registered voters in the state, because if we all felt like he did, the thing would never have passed.He said, "Ah hell, you're only talking about one vote. One vote doesn't make any difference..."Some people just don't get it.

    Damn, even after the 2000 election... Still, I'm not surprised. Seems the Taliban has us nailed pretty well. We're shallow, selfish, and easily bored. Christ, Jefferson would be ashamed if he had seen what had become of the country he worked so damn hard to birth. Can't we found our own country? Anyone who doesn't vote gets booted off the island.

    Like I tell all my non-voting friends. You didn't vote... You have no right to complain.
