plutherusAnd now, as a public service, here are some translations from voter-speak to English.
Voter: "Why should I vote at all, both candidates are practically the same."
Translation: I haven't bothered to do any research on the very important differences between the two presidential candidates. And the senators, representatives, and state ballot measures don't even register to me.
Voter: "I'm not going to vote at all. My vote won't make any difference."
Translation: There is a saying in China: "Many drops of water can turn a mill." As an American, though, I have no interest in being part of anything bigger than myself. If I can't be singly recognized for my efforts, I want no part of it.
