You may have heard the emphasis on this year's election – it's absolutely critical that you, as an American citizen vote this year, but if you do, please do so wisely. It may not miraculously rescue the state of the economy, but there are decisions you can impact.
The other day, Lpanda
and I were audience to a young man who is obviously trying to encourage people
to vote. This exuberant young man
exclaims, "Make sure you register! We
don't care who you vote for, just make sure you vote." Aghast
at such an ignorant comment, we hope his words were just a misfire, and his
intent really meant, "Make sure you register!
Don't vote aimlessly. Please
research all your options before making your final call." While
we do want people to be heard, what we don't want is a bunch of uneducated
votes to determine who leads this country.
The presidential debate is on tonight. You'd have to be TV-less and living under a rock to miss it. Although, it does conflict with our very critical Dodger/Philly game, uh... so yeah, thank goodness for dual recording DVR's!
