Originally posted by royalchickenYes the system is flawed. Most types of systems have flaws some minor some major. People have died to allow all of us over the age of eighteen in these UNITED STATES the right to vote, to have a voice no matter how small you may think it is. If you travel to other nations whose people do not do not have this right you will thank our fore fathers for it. You are free to say whatever you wish about our electoral proccess,not perfect but better than the alternative.
I already mentioned that I'm not old enough to vote; that's bit of evidence (1) that you didn't read my post.
[b]Who would you rather have in office? If you don't care, don't vote. I did vote, cuz I'm going to bitch about Bush if he's elected again.
That's good that you'll 'bitch'. Bush is an evil, conniving man. However, if ...[text shortened]... guarantee that within limits a citizen has his or her say does not require that he or she voted.[/b]
Me thinks you should think of reasons to vote rather than reasons not to.
Only my opinion,
