I heard this the other day. "I don't vote as a protest against the administration."
Similar to protesting the pre-WWII Nazi's by sitting quietly in the corner and averting your eyes.
Due to a fuck-up by the DMV - it took me 5 hours, 30 miles and a judge to vote today.
Don't like Bush? - vote.
Don't like the Democrats? - vote.
Don't like the Republicans? - vote.
Don't like the Iraq war? - vote.
Don't like the economy? - vote.
Don't like stem cell research? - vote.
Don't like porn? - vote.
Don't like the war on porn? - vote.
Don't want to vote? Then shut the fuck up already!

Honestly the boards are getting annoying. Any good points put across are shot down and the majority of people just make the same statements and falsehoods again and again until someone gets tired of making thoughtful rebuttals. "Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth." I think Hitler or Gobbles said that and eerily, it seems like the rule of the forum. If you do post something message me so I can get in on the debate. I always know your posts, whether I agree with your points or not, will always be articulate and well thought out.
Trust me, if I were so good at phrasing arguments and citing precedents I'd try to do what you do. I find it really interesting.
Sorry I'm not very articulate today, I've been talking with this Austrian girl over IM and it's killing my grammar. It's painful. But worth it.
I also have been auditing a course with Saul Landau at AU... Free! If you don't know who he is google him. My father knows him through the Posada Carilles case and so I have been hard at work to exploit that connection, but only in the best possible way.
What's new with you aside from nasty microscopic biological organisms assaulting your body's defenses?
