SA, First, I never said you didn't "care" as a blanket statement about "anything".
You say are working from outside the system to change it. I've asked you last time to explain to me how "not voting" changes anything? We already have 50% of the voters not voting? At what percentage will things change? 20%? 10%? Let's say in the next election only 20% of the voters actually vote. How will the system change? What will it take for people to start "talking about why people are not voting"? Every election we see story after story about low voter turnout. We are already talking about it. We just don't care enough to do anything about it. If people actually wanted change, they'd do a hell of a lot more than not vote. They call for rebellion, or they'd roll up their sleeves and get involved in the system. Not voting may send a message that you are unhappy with the system, but it also sends the message that you are content to wait for someone else to change it. And I do agree with Ron, real change, change wrought by caring, will begin at the grassroots level, in local and state politics. And it will begin by dropping the inane "government is the problem" nonsense jabbered by Raygun. Government is only the problem to the extent that _WE_ are the problem, because our government is "we the people".
