Ok, now for a little lesson in calculus and in voting.

In integral calc, there exists a little bitty thing of infinitesimal
size. we will call it a 'dx' in this discussion.  Alone, this
'dx' isn't much, it is really small.  In fact, its width approaches
the length 0.  Well, although it is not much alone, if you add
up all of these little 'dx' pieces, you get the big area under a
curve.  So, without the contribution of all of the 'dx' pieces,
we would not know the area, or the area would be incorrect.

Your vote is very similar to the 'dx'.  Alone, it seems fairly
insignificant.  All of the 'dx's' summed together, though, make
a picture of who should serve in what role in our government.  Without
your vote, the election is incorrect and the voice of you and the
electorate has not been accurately portrayed.

So, just remember that your vote _does_ make a difference just
as the flapping of the wings of a butterfly make a difference.

Thanks,

John
