I have a friend who says that she isn't going to vote...one less thing to think about.

I know she's got problems, but to me, that's pretty much saying, "Fuck it. I don't care about the country I live in." I mean, if you want things to happen, and you believe either candidate can do what you think is best, then you should vote. Women didn't get beaten and thrown in jail so that you could shrug your shoulders and say, "It doesn't matter", because it does. It wouldn't matter to me which way she voted - McCain/Palin or Obama/Biden. It doesn't matter. You should vote. You live in this fucking country, goddammit, and you should exercise your rights. And if you're a random person who sees this post, VOTE DAMMIT. Like I say, it matters not who you vote for, you should vote. It doesn't matter whether you're depressed, are an idiot, or are the smartest motherfucker out there. Voting is a fundamental right for all of us. Eighteen or ninety, you should vote. Mansion or homeless, you should vote.

I'm not giving my rights up that easily. We could be going to hell in a handbasket. You can pry my right to vote from my cold, dead hands, motherfucker.
