And isn't that the real problem with democracy? Everybody gets the vote. So no matter how much you read, think, discuss, argue...your one vote gets cancelled out by a waitress who's never heard of one of the candidates? I know the knee jerk reaction to that is..yep, that's democracies strength. But might it not be its weakness?
Maybe the vote should be something you have to qualify for by more than age..like the driving test, a little work involved so its something you value and use with discretion and knowledge?
