Get Your Vote On

So today on Election Day '08 I take pause to reflect on all that is right with the way our government works. I have been pretty down on big brother lately and the way things have been run to be sure. However that does not mean that I am totally against the way our government is supposed to function. Idealism and reality are two different things completely however.

With that being said, the U.S. government on a whole is a functioning entity that has served this country quite well for the last 200 years or so. Do yourself a favor today and get out and vote. Even if you don't vote on the presidential election, at least vote on the local referendums that affect you directly in your home city or town.

If you don't get out and vote on the local issues at hand, you might find yourself living in a town that you don't necessarily want - but if you don't vote you're automatically saying you just don't care. So take the hour or so out of your day today and vote damn it. It is important, whether you think it is or not.
