The last couple local and national elections, I didn't like any of the choices so I decided not to vote at all. Of course this made some people angry and "Do you know how many people DIED for you to have the RIGHT to vote??" Yes, and my thought is, didn't they also die so I have the right NOT to vote if I am not pleased with the candidates?
I'm thinking that all the people who vote because they feel obligated to, even if they don't like the choices, just "allow" the government to put in office those they WANT in office anyway. Wouldn't the Government take notice if hardly anyone showed up on election day? Couldn't there maybe be a ballot for "None of the Above" so at least those of us who are displeased at the choices given will be heard?

Voting is a choice; neither bad nor good. National elections are usually predictable (other than occurances like in Florida), but your vote does count in local elections more than you know.
I do agree that a "None of the Above" would be great and a way for us to say..."Give us someone worth voting for". But, I doubt we will ever see it...... LEFTY
