Voting Is Not a Right. It Is a Duty. 0
One of my friends voices his alienation from the current state of American politics. Read the whole thing; it’s short.
Here’s the heart of it:
I care little at this point that Obama was dealt a bad hand. Or that the Republicans have been archly obstructionist. Or that the Democratic base, so fired up a mere two years ago, is disillusioned. Or that the Republican message (sic) dominates the airwaves and much of what passes for political discourse.
I do indeed understand the frustration; I feel it also.
But, with all respect, no one is talking about taking to the hills and waging armed struggle for decades while living on roots and berries and maybe the occasional pic-a-nic basket.
All that is needed is to take out 15 minutes or maybe as much as an hour on November 2nd and vote for the Not-a-Republican.
