Second, I don't vote, because I firmly beleive that if you vote, you have no right to complain. I know some people like to twist that around and say, 'If you don't vote, you have no right to complain.'But where's the logic in that? Think it through: if you vote, and you elect dishonest, incompetent politicians, and they screw things up, then you are responsible for what they've done. You voted them in. You caused the problem. You have no right to complain. I, on the other hand, who did not vote-who, in fact, did not even leave the house on election Day-am in no way responsible for what these politicians have done and have every right to complain about the mess you created. Which I had nothing to do with. Why can't people see that?

You stole that from George Carlin, but I pretty much agree. I'm having second thoughts today. I didn't vote in the 2000 election, and i'm still wondering if I should vote today. I probably will but just for our local elections. The Presidential vote to me right now does not matter, as Kansas goes to Bush.
I have yet to hear someone produce a good argument on why I should vote. My vote for POTUS does not count.
