I raised this point in a thread some time ago and you'd be surprised at the number of TFPers who will rationalize that they have the right to choose not to vote.
Personally, I feel that anyone who has the right to voice their opinion or has had their ancestors, family or gender fight oppression in order to obtain that right has an obligation to vote. It saddens me when intelligent people express such apathy, cynicism and worthlessness.
