the right to not vote is integral with the right to vote. by making it manditory, you create a philosphical conflict that negates the freedom.
although nothing pisses me off more than people who don't vote. it's their choice, but what a slap in the face - to ART's trust the government thread, not voting is REALLY insulting. talk about taking it for granted. i get particularly put out when i encounter people who bitch about the state of the government, and then find out that they didn't even bother to exercise their voice.
