Just Do It!

Seeing as how it's election season, I figured it was time for another important announcement about Democracy. 

I may not be storming the beaches of Normandy, but I am almost completely sober while writing this post.  That's called patriotism. 

Now, if I remember my half-semester of civics class, voting is good.  And, as I rudely discovered in 2008, there are marked differences between our electoral system and Survivor.

"Wait, I thought we voted him OFF the island!"

Now, shockingly, that mandatory civics class we took in high school has not instilled the democratic fervor in our youth.  Kinda like how we've all taken French since Grade 3 and yet still mispronounce "poutine".

Seriously, young people just don't vote.  Maybe it's because we've never had to fight for our right to cast a ballot; maybe it's because Super Mario has no save feature, but it's a problem.

For those of you who think you're "too cool" to vote, or who think your vote doesn't count, let me say this:

YOU ARE THE REASON MY TUITION KEEPS GOING UP

If you don't vote, you have no right to complain about anything the government does.  None at all.

Worse, do you know who IS voting?  The elderly.

Now I don't know about you, but MY grandma (bless her heart) still says things like "black" music is too "uppity".

THAT IS WHO IS SPEAKING FOR YOU

Seriously guys, go vote.  Do it ironically if you have to.  If you've got a fake ID, vote twice.  We need you.
