canada has elections? wow...


seriously, though, i feel the same way as you, but then i realized that a voice in the long list of voices is not a statement of what 'power' you can exert over your government, what shape you can help form, what road you want the gov't to take, but it can let it be known that there is a voice out there that desires to be heard.

That, and voting normally takes ten minutes of my life. Being prepared to vote takes hours, but i enjoy that, it's just that actual voting takes about 10 minutes for me.

with that being said, not voting holds the same amount of power as voting. You simply choose to withhold your voice until there is a reason to put it out there.
