re: Voting
The thing about voting is that you can either vote for someone you like or against someone you don't want.
This is why to abstain is usually not a good solution (it favors the one you don't want).
Before this election year I would have agreed with you 100%. However, I am feeling very apathetic about this election. I wish I had someone better to vote for. I'm afraid of where both candidates will lead this country. I do not like Kerry at all. I like some of what Bush has done, but not all. If by November I become convinced that Bush has purposefully led us into war despite all evidence and good sense I cannot in good conscience vote for him. I haven't reached that point yet, but I'm certainly closer than I was 6 months ago. Since I won't vote for Kerry, that leaves precious few options. Witholding my vote may be the only consciable choice I have, but like I said I'm still as yet undecided.
