Yeah, I agree with Necromancer. I loathe, detest, hate, and despise politics. Politicians are cheats an liars, and that means ALL of them. I never buy their campaign speeches, or their promises. They're all a bunch of crooks to greater or lesser degree. However, not voting is giving up the one say in we have in government, and the *reason* everythings all FUBAR'd is because most of us have become lazy and just listen to the rhetoric and vote on how we 'feel' (bad idea), or don't vote at all. I've done both, rest assured. If all of us did our homework, and voted down people who were dishonest or crooks, the politicians would be far more gun-shy of pulling the crap they do.
I hate voting and politics. I look at it like math homework. I do it because it's a duty, not because I like it, and even if it is usually is like chosing between getting hit by a truck or drowning.
The main thing I vote for is the propositions. Those have a major effect on your life.
