We have an election coming up - Where on the political scale do you fall?

Politics are my life – Super Tuesday found you watching two TVs so you could see up to the minute updates from both Fox and CNN. Your family, friends and co-workers know better to even mention politics in passing for fear of your rants. Your doctor keeps saying your blood pressure won’t come down until you learn how to “let go.”

American Duty – You carefully weigh the candidates platforms, choosing the person who best represents what you’d do if you were in charge. Election day, you get up early so you can vote without taking time from work. The poll workers know you by name. You wear the “I voted today!” sticker.

American Apathy – “Like my vote matters?” you think. It seems like too much effort to go to your polling place; the teenagers have all the good parking spaces, the gym smells like sour milk and old sport socks, and you suffer flashbacks of high school for days afterward. Maybe you’ll just skip the whole thing (again)
