To Vote or Not to Vote...What a Question

Tomorrow is the election. Now, I'm not going to sit here and preach politics, or ask my faitful readers to do the same. What I am going to do is sit here and hope that each of you is going to vote. Now, some of us may think that neither choice is a particularly good one. We may very well be right, but if South Park taught us anything last week, it's that every election will always come down to a Giant Douche and a Turd Sandwich, and that's fine. What falls on us as citizens of this country is to decide which we dislike less.

I once had a history teacher that made something very clear to my class, and I think it's one of the most profound political statements I've heard in my nearly 24 years. She told us, and I don't believe that she said this originally, that you can't complain about the President if you don't vote for the President. That makes a lot of sense to me. If you don't make your voice heard, then you're essentially saying "I don't care" and as soon as you say that, then you can't complain when things don't go the way you want.

To wrap this rant up, I just hope that my friends, and anybody else that reads this that can vote tomorrow, does so tomorrow. I know I will be.
