Go Vote!

Two more days until one of the biggest elections in US history. No matter who wins, it will give us a first -- the first black president, or the first female VP. No matter who wins, a lot of things will change. A lot of people will be excited. A lot of people will be pissed off.

And a lot of people won't bother to vote at all.

Yeah, yeah, your vote is insignificant, blah blah blah. Know what makes it even less significant? Not casting it at all. Know where your vote is more significant? At the local level. Even if you could care less about who wins the presidency, go vote. Vote for the people who will be running things where you live. The ones who can win by a handful of votes.

Too many Americans are ridiculously apathetic about their right to vote. They don't bother to vote, then they whine about the people who end up in office. You don't like the people running things? Do something about it. Vote.

You may or may not agree with my political opinions. That's fine. You have that right. If you aren't going to vote, though, do not come and complain to me about the state of this country. If you can't be bothered to go stand in line for a couple minutes, push a few buttons, and get your sticker, guess what? I can't be bothered to listen to your ranting. You want things to change? At least try and help elect someone who will run things the way you want them run.

Mark it on your calendars, people. I expect to have to stand in line for at least an hour to vote, got it? A shorter line than that, and I will be annoyed.
