Vote!

[ceebeegee]

I voted today. They don't expect a big turnout today--the election is for a few council members and some ballot initiatives. I was thinking of Stuart, and Iraq, and my usual frustration with those who don't exercise their right to vote. As fucked up as the situation is over there, we're trying to give them that right. People die all over the world for this right--Iraqis were gassed and tortured in unbelievable ways for this basic right to self-determination, and we take it so casually. We're such complacent, jaded, cynical children.
