>>>Non-voters are NOT viewed by those in power as protesting against the
system. They are viewed as: a: People who are happy as fat with the way
things are going. and b: People whose viewpoints can be totally ignored. <<<
Plenty of anarchists who don't vote,even where it's compulsory,(like here)
know when the participation rate drops below 50%,neither side can claim a
mandate.Those in power can then be ignored.This is the long march to Anarchy.
>>>So Jim, I think you have it exactly backwards. I vote. But I always
vote for libertarian candidates if they are available (and they
increasingly are), and against the incumbent if not (modulo some *very*
local races where I actually have personalities to deal with, as opposed to
spindoctored facades). Peter Trei <<<
'I vote.' Say no more.
