Voting

I don't buy into all the shit about people saying that you have to go out and vote. I don't want idiots that don't have any idea about any candidates voting and I'm tired of people trying to make me feel guilty. I think it's just as American to decide not to vote. Sure, I did vote, but it's because I am informed and certainly, if I didn't get around to it, I don't feel like that makes me a worse person. I do feel like it makes you a worse person if you vote and have no idea why, who, or what you're voting for.

As a friend of mine suggested, perhaps there should be some sort of simple test required in order to vote. He didn't intend on making it very difficult, but gave the sample question of "If Kim is on the chair and the chair is in the kitchen, where is Kim?" If you answer "wherever god wants her to be at the time," you will, thankfully, have no influence on the upcoming election.

I don't know why some people think of voting as this holy process and it makes you a bastard if you consciously decide not to.
