Subject: RE: BS: Why are politicians so vacuous?
The notion of one person, one vote is good. However, look at the relative merits of the votes coming from people like Claymore, Bobert, BillD, etc.

They are voting for different 'parties' and each appears to have given very serious and complete though to their decision. IMO, they are good votes that will be delivered by good voters, despite the fact they 'disagree' with each other.

Then we have the dumb votes: I am voting this way because my daddy voted this way and by gawd, so will I and nothin' will change my mind. It's a poor reflection on democracy when people with fancy hairdos on the news can tell the electorate what their choice should be. But that is what it's comin' to.

If I may, duellingbouzoukis, please go to the polling station and at least mar your ballot. The day we can't at least do that is the day the 'music' will die.
