OK, so it was a bit hyperbole w/the stormin' the castle. I just love that line in 'Princess Bride', and now you know.

What I mean is, participation in electoral voting is pretty meaningless. Change can't come within the system. Yet, there is this widespread agreement that we should pretend like this is actually not the case.

And look, I won't be on the frontline stormin' the barricades at the RNC here in St Paul. I do plan on doing a bit of marching, a bit of knoshing w/out of towners, that sort of thing. But I don't run fast enough anymore, nor am I limber enough, to climb the barricades and scale the walls w/those young whippersnapper anarchist kiddies!
