That was seriously funny. Now I'm going to tell you something not so funny. And as you read this you will find your self getting more and more angry at me as that seems to happen every time I tell this tale: I lived in Florida 2 elections ago and I didn't vote. I had political apathy at the time and figured, "Why bother." I didn't think there was any way that GW would beat Al Gore. I was even registered down there, but instead of voting I went home, put my feet up and fell asleep after work. Imagine my horror when I woke the next day and found out who'd won? Imagine how much worse it got for me over the next few days when the "scandal" broke... Imagine how all my friends were Über angry at me when I admitted to not bothering to show up to the polls... My one vote, LITERALLY, could have seriously changed the course of history and erased the last horrifying 8 years. Imagine having to live with that.
I believe we already had this discussion. (http://ceebeegee.livejournal.com/428557.html?thread=1019405#t1019405) Although you didn't confess your slackitude in Florida in 2000.

Oh, and I didn't vote in '04 either. Mad yet?
