Do us all a favor...

If THIS is necessary to get you off your couch and into the booth, do the rest of us a favor. For the love of all that is good and decent and worth protecting in this country -- DON'T VOITE!

Apathetic, clueless people who will only vote if Leonardo DiCaprio (or some other celebrity) tells them to should self-select themselves out of the entire process. Consider it a form of political Darwinism, where the weak don't pass on their apathetic, ill-informed impulses.

(Warning: Strong language)



Though, to be honest, I think a lot of the passionate would do the rest of us a favor if they stayed home on election day, too:

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
-- W. B. Yeats
