Then you have the issue of not voting at all. If nobody is allowed to vote, what kind of a government would you wind up with? More likely than not you wind up heading towards totalitarianism. |

YOu do. Being a Democrat, you get half a vote times two. If you were a Republican in Florida your vote value would be increased.

I think so. I'd say the same for other people who listen to Air America, read the DailyKos, and get their news from Jon Stewart (by the way, have you seen the one where he shows President Bush mispronouncing a word? It's soooo funny! And fresh!). Anything to spark an interest in the world around them is better than pure apathy.

But seriously I try to stay informed by reading a variety of newspapers and magazines and listening to the news. I know that all information is subject to manipulation by the writer, so I try to look at a wide selection. I know that I am not always as well informed as I ought to be, but it is something that I enjoy doing. Once I get out of lawschool I am hoping to catch up some. |
