My sense is that all bitching and complaining goes in the same "suggestion box". Even the most constructive criticism from the most dedicated of voters tends to garner about the same response as the whingeing of the limpest of the vote slackers and will likely continue to do so until the tines of the pitchforks become apparent. I have always voted in the perhaps vain hope that my vote might represent a drop in the tide of popular will, but mostly I just feel washed away. This won't keep me from voting and has meant that I will use every opportunity available to shed light on the rot that rules our society and the idiocy of most of our election outcomes, but the no vote, no bitch saw is too convenient and the corollary notion that a vote will change the world is too comforting. And, by the way, deepest thanks for your directness in tackling what ails us. Keep it up.Danneauhttp://outoffog.net/RESHnoreply@blogger.com
