I disagree.  They are not one and the same thing.  The only way you can say 
otherwise is definitional.  If I sell my car to my neighbor, that is a 
conceptually different act than if I go to the voting booth to vote for a 
mayor.  If you want to define them as the same thing, that is like saying there 
is no difference between  dogs and cats because they both breathe oxygen.
