Things being how they are, I'm not sure which one is more useful. One gives you an illusion to keep you entertained... The other one requires a set-top box.

Oh Pat. Couldn't you find a link with believing in a super powerful being that will punish you if you deviate and to whom you owe absolute allegiance just because you were born, and... believing in a super powerful being that will punish you if you deviate and to whom you owe absolute allegiance just because you were born?

I would.  Voting brings me very little pleasure and counts for very little, while cable does more for me.

Mind you, I barely even watch TV, so like Stonebeard I'd assume you're talking internet access too.

I think you've hit on a great idea,Pat. If we can convince everyone except us Libertarians to give up the vote, we'll be in business!

Oh I see the link. That's exactly where my question comes from. Stoney echoed it too.

Oh so people know tomorrow at 10:00 EST Ron Paul's first hearing as the chair of the monetary policy subcommittee will be on CSPAN. It should be interesting.

When enough people stop voting, they will make voting an obbligation "for society's sake".
