Election day

[unixronin]

To be a citizen in a democracy, representative or direct, is not just a privilege.  It is also a responsibility, to keep that democracy on the right track and see that it does not go astray.  A citizen of that democracy who has the right to vote, who is happy to partake in the privileges, but who cannot be bothered to exercise the responsibility of using their vote, is only half a citizen.

I went out and voted today.  Did you?

(It was an optical-scan paper ballot, by the way.)

The horrible thought just occurred to me that if enough of the right people didn't bother voting because their individual ballots didn't matter, instead of the slim probability of President Hillary Clinton, we could be looking at President Dianne Feinstein.


I need to go scrub my brain out with bleach now.
