So we're coming up on voting this year for a new president. Something you should know about me is that I take voting very seriously. It is a basic human right in any free and democratic country, and it is something we should treasure and exercise.
Vote your mind, vote your heart, vote your soul, and VOTE!
I will admit to being seriously annoyed by people who select candidates at random or by sophisticated means such as "eeny, meeny, miny, moe", but at least that is better than someone who doesn't even bother to fill out a sheet of paper and stuff it in the mail or ballot box.
Voting is the easiest thing you can do--easier than paying your bills or wiping your bum with them (or both). Furthermore, it's the easiest way to act if your government is not filling you with inspiration.
So for those who complain about government but refuse (out of protest?) to vote, I say close your mouth and let your ballot speak for you. It is a treasured right in our glorious land of liberty, and the primary way our founding fathers conceived to preserve it.
