SA:
Do you think mainstream culture would wake-up if
more people didn't vote? How many does it take for
this culture to realize that nothings' at the table to
vote for that will actually make it into office and do
something worthwhile? When will somebody like
yourself wake-up and realize that a no-vote is a vote
for something? And your a dumb ass too putting people
into office that have screwed up this country, so...
did we get anywhere on that one?

SA:
How is it stupid, lazy, and deceitful? Do you
have something more thoughtful to add that would
better explain your position? A no-vote is a vote.

SA:
Come on. I know you got your teaching job for
being more thoughtful than this. If you actually said
anything worth thinking about. "bad citizen" and
"just bullshit" aren't those arbitrary comments. I
could easily think the same of you.
