Election Day 2008
Once again it looks like I’ve gotten really busy with stuff not on this blog, but I wanted to make sure I popped in and at least MENTIONED that today is election day.
I try not to get TOO political on here and some would say that I’m not really even that opinionated on here and I’m not sure that that’s going to change with this post.
I do know that a lot of people in the blogosphere vote, and a lot of people don’t vote. Some people believe that the act of voting is the ultimate display of the democratic process and others firmly believe that your vote doesn’t count.
For me, most of it boils down to I don’t believe you have a right to complain if you’re not willing to do something about it. Can you change things with a vote? I think you can. And whether you’re for voting or not, this is arguably the biggest election in the history of the USA. I have reasons to vote besides that fact, but regardless, that IS still a pretty cool situation right?
So no matter who you vote for, I hope you do. And for the few of you that might see this post from another country, do you have any feelings on the candidates? Does the rest of the world care who gets elected?

I guess nobody voted. Heh. I would like to see the electoral vote system done away with…then I might feel my voted made a difference.

The Electoral College blows. It needs to go away.
