What you do at the polls is for naught, if during the other 364 days of the year you squander your life away on people, products, and choices that ultimately feed those things you are voting against.

The power of the people is more than just at the ballot boxes folks. Think about it. :poke:


i couldn't agree more!

The choices you make on the 364 other days have a real big impact on your corner of the world and those around you as well, what a wonderful point.

i was more concerned with voting to ban grayhound racing here...democrats always win everything where i live.


anyway i hope obama's wind of change finally blows my new hyperion into my mailbox tomorrow, so i can party correctly.

i had an nice argument with my coworkers, assistant manager and store manager over this
i massively won with everyone but the store manager who i kinda tied with, i just dont wanna lose my job :mope:

btw, i agree with you which is why i didnt vote
my opening line with each of them was
"theres 3 ways we can look at this
1. logically; which tells me its stupid to waste 30min to an hour on a vote that wont change anything
2. religously (i work in a small, pro 8 town); which tells me not to care because this systems gonna be gone soon anyway
3. as a citizen; which tells me i could be doing volunteer work or something, something worth more than a measely vote; to help out htis country.

:p

3rd party votes make me chuckle. It's like not voting, but you still get bragging rights.
