hear, hear
Tom Brokaw was on Letterman earlier this evening, and I believe he said something about, while the electoral vote was fairly close, the popular vote wasn't quite so much
I think I was reading the other day in our campus newspaper, a notoriously liberal editorialist who's in a polysci class of mine (he even sounds liberal, if ya know what i mean), made some comment in his weekly editorial about disliking people who make the "if you don't vote you can't complain" argument. except for, that's utterly false. this country's longevity is prolonged by the participation in the democratic process; the process is based on the ability of people to speak out. if you choose not to exercise this right, then your right to complain is diminished. if you're apathetic, that's not my problem. you're obviously not apathetic enough to take time to complain about something.
