Re: One nation, many voices
Yesterday was an election day for the county in which I work. I was amazed to find in the news that the polling places were empty, yet every other car seemed to have a flag on it. I thought it was pretty sad, that people are outwardly patriotic at times like this, but when it comes to voting for local government, they just don't give a damn.
Part of the problem could have been lack of advertising though, since the news has been monopolized by the networks lately the local stations could hardly get in a word edgewise. Still holding out hope, that this was the reason for the poor turnout.
