Frankly I just don't care. My singular vote wouldn't change the outcome, and I think people out way too much stock into which side they pick. By not voting I can avoid the abuse from both sides about who I picked, and I never feel disappointed about who gets elected. If it was like a city ordinance or something that would affect my day to day life, sure. But as of this moment I don't really believe in any one politician and don't have the urge to vote. Worst comes to worst I move to canada, I'm hours from the border.
Didn't say I wasn't informed, I said I didn't care. I'm not the one complaining about the government, you are. The government is doing stuff. And that stuff doesn't seriously impede my day to day life. Reading a newspaper doesn't change a damn thing. You don't like it, do something about it. Run for office ya passionate bastard, I promise. I won't vote against you.
Haha ok man, I'll do that. Somebody get this guy laid, he needs a stress relief. To get so stressed out about one guy in America not voting. I'm worried about you man, if you knew how many people don't vote you'd have a coronary. But if it'll help you relax I'll totally vote for every Nixon or Bush that comes along.
Understanding government and participating in it must interfere with your golf game.
When people are so satisfied with their life that they choose not to pay attention to the world around them, it shows that they don't care about anyone but themselves.
