So, I voted tonight. In a fucking shed. No joke, my polling place was a prefab corrugated metal hut slightly larger than a 2 car garage.

We wonder why people don't vote, or if they do they vote for candiates with no experience, no qualifications, a mail order Bachelors, but the best haircut. Maybe its because we treat it like a goddamn joke. The governor of California is more powerful than half the heads of state on the planet. At least. This is to say nothing of the president, who didn't exactly get an exalted selection process the last time around. You'd think we might put a little more care into it.

One of these days i'll have to vote...then i'll have a right to complain. Whatever else i can say about you Reprobate, i know you know your stuff and you vote for what you believe and what you think is right. I'm so jaded about things sometimes it's sick and i'm only 23. You're ten times smarter and ten times more knowledgable about just about anything than i am (doesn't mean i agree with you hehehe) so how can you keep on keeping on and doing your civic duty when you see what you see in the world and in our government?

Have you ever thought of running for an office yourself?

So, what do you feel about the new site layout? I think it's aweful.

Just during the last election here, there was a story in the papers about a school complaining that hosting the vote was a burden, and they wanted it hosted somewhere else. It's not even like it happens once a week or month or something...
