Yes, IMO, voting is necessary and could be considered obligitory...

Personally, I cherish having the right to choose (vote for) persons (politicians) who share my desire... re: how to improve/make sustainable our country.

I enjoy seeking out persons demonstrating logical thought processes/actions/ideas that I believe are healty for you and I (topics including but not limited to...environment/world relations/science/ethics/religion/money...).

By helping select the direction, voting, (in even the smallest manner) in which specific persons, aka: Leaders/politicians take this country...I have found a voice. To me, being voiceless is being invisible.

If you have no opinion as to the direction our country travels, fine. I am happy to choose for you...with humblest gratitude. If you have a differing opinion, fine...lets discuss the differences and learn from oposing sides (there is always at least a bit of truth on each side of an argument, no?)

Sorry, I just see sooo many (esp young persons) refuse to take an active interest in the direction the world spins. I dont always know who is the best leader but...

I have learned a bit from history I dont wish us to repeat!
