" People get the Government they deserve"
Thomas Jefferson
I liked that one from the first time I read it. There's a lot of truth there.
"Anyone who doesn't vote should live where they cannot vote"
Me
What happened to me, was a realization - many years ago.
Ever get in the booth, go over the ballot looking for the names you've already decided upon, get done, double check it before you finish.... and see something over on the side that you weren't expecting?
It happened to me.
It was some mundane issue. Some goofy thing involving a county far away, and I wondered why it was even on our ballot. I read it. Decided not to vote on it, since it was something I didn't care about.
As I was leaving, it hit me! I didn't vote (on that one thing) because I didn't care, and that would make sense as to why so many people choose not to vote.
So I came to:
"If you don't care, don't *censored* about it later"
And that applies whether is about a tax ditch two counties away, or the President.
.... my two cents worth....
