I use to be an "American Duty" person, voting on issues local and national, careful to get my absentee ballot request in on time while I was away. Somewhere around 2000 I looked around and said, "I don't like any of you." I didn't vote - and the ghosts of the hanging chads of that year still haunt us.

I don't know if its a symptom of getting older, a sign of our times, or just because of where I live, but I seem to crossing paths with more and more politically rabid folk - but I've been surprised - the bigger the bluster, the louder the voice, the less likely they are to actually vote?!
