Vote!

Not voting is like taking democracy out back to shoot it. I mean, you might as well put it out of its misery.

Seriously though, voting is a privilege, and we do a good job of pretending that it's a right. Well, women have only gotten to vote in the last century in this country, and African American men only about half a century prior.

I'm going to go ahead and quote Joni Mitchell here. 'You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone.' I mean, the turnout is generally so low we might as well take away the option all together.

So yeah, if you don't vote, you're risking the rights of everyone to vote, and sacrificing the democratic process for your inability to actually visit a polling place or register to have your ballot sent to your home. That's right. You could vote while drinking your beer and watching the World Series. (GO GIANTS!)

I think it's pretty self-evident. Vote in the election on Tuesday.
