Vote.

[KnottedYet]

The election cycle B.S. is starting up in the US media.

The last couple days I've been wearing my "VOTE" t-shirt to run in.

And then this morning I just ran across this quote from Neil DeGrasse Tyson.

Please, people. Remember to vote.

(on average only 1/2 the registered voters bother to vote)

I am, of course, in love with Neil DeGrasse Tyson.

Yes. Vote. And most important, educate yourself.

So I lived in Louisiana a tad too long

I've voted in almost every election I could. Must admit I've missed a couple of small ones, like school board.

I've wondered who would be in the White House over the years if 3/4 of the eligible voters actually made it to the polls.

If you don't vote, then you don't get to gripe either.

Just remember something I read in B*tch Magazine a few years back.

Voting is like brushing your teeth.

Granted if you don't do it, things will get ugly really quick. But don't expect that it's the only thing you need to do, to keep things working the way they ought to.

Even if you don't like one of more candidates for one or more positions there will be one who you respect and like. Find a local dog catcher, supervisor, school board member who you respect and volunteer. Find a bond issue you believe in and put a placard on your lawn. Don't be afraid of what the neighbors will think or say if you put a placard out or walk/bike the precinct.

I don't care how you vote (well, ok, yeah I do) but it matters that you do.
