IMHO, it's pathetic that so few people vote in this country. I think it has to do with several factors:
1.) They take it for granted, even though thousands -- if not millions -- have died over the centuries to ensure their right to elect their leaders.
2.) The politics of personal destruction have soured everyone on the process. Instead of actually discussing issues, all we get are distorted facts and flat-out lies.
3.) The people from whom we can choose all suck. Those that really could make a difference don't want to bother due to point number 2.
4.) They feel as though, no matter whom they elect, it won't matter -- we'll still get nothing but douche bags.
With all that said, I'll be voting right after work (will probably leave a bit early). Once I'm done with that, I'm playing some Madden -- I have no desire to watch all of the crap.
