"- the office of 'citizen'. The responsibility of that office is to elect those who would represent us. That is our function by title. PLEASE vote today. Vote whichever way you like - I would never presume to tell you what's important to you. If you don't like any of the candidates, remember you can always write in one - be it John Smith, Big Bird, or None of the Above. Not to vote means to abstain, and to abstain means that you actually blankly agree with what the majority says. The decision is being made about your future today - be a part of it!"

So technically, we're *all* part of the government? Pffft. Typical public-school commie propaganda! - Dr.Vermin Nov 6, 09:18 2

- The wages are sh** (in fact, YOU pay THEM to hold this office), health benefits are nonexistent, and don't even get started on the dental plan. - Beryllium Nov 6, 09:20
