What are you, some kind of idiot?  Why do you not want to take part in a
decision of who becomes *your* President/congressperson/local
sheriff/whoever?  I'm not going to start the subject of "if you don't
vote you can't complain," but why on earth do you not want to vote?  If
the choice of candidates sucks, write in your own choice.  Hell, write
in George P. Burdell if necessary!  This is *your* country as well as mine.
While individually my vote means nothing, collectively it expresses the
opinion of the citizens of the United States.
