US People - Your Choice for 2008 Candidate
You're right; I can't help myself.
I like to believe I'm Tycho, but really I'm Gabe.
Or am I? Maybe I really am Tycho after all.
Anyway, glad you like my posts, even if it's just my Christmas present. Most people walk away before I even get close to finishing.

Do you buy lottery tickets in the hopes that with the winnings you could save literally hundreds of thousands of people in third world countries, however miniscule that chance is?Even if politics has little or no effect on your life, it has life or death effects on thousands of other peoples. (As I'm sure you know) Isn't voting worth it for the miniscule chance that you could help those people?

A half-hour to go down to the local polling station?It costs me time
Or five minutes to do one of the mail ballets?
It seems to me like the whole arguement against voting is "Why should I? It won't make any diffirence to the outcome" well, whatever you say, sure your single vote won't make much of a diffirence, but if enough people believe that (and it seems to me like a lot of this generation does indeed think that) then that group could mean a state or states becoming the color of the party that has a history of screwing the american people over, which in turn could mean the president could be voted into office.
This is just my opinion, I could be wrong. But I think just because your own individual vote will not change the ultimate outcome it's not a reason not to vote.
