Take reponsibility

posted in Uncategorized |

Just vote.  Go and do it already.  Don’t waffle.  It’s your bloody duty as a U.S. citizen.

I don’t care if you vote Republican or Democratic or Green Party or None of the Above.  If you’re a U.S. citizen, you have a ton of rights, and one major responsibility (well, plus jury duty, but that’s a rant for a different day). 

Also, don’t whinge about the results if you don’t vote.  If you do vote, you get a “OmegaMom says I can complain” bumper sticker.

    Already done! What saddens me is the number of local elections that have only one party represented on the ballot. If I weren’t looking to move away from here, I’d have to run for something next year.

    I’m pinging with anticipation and hopefulness at today’s outcome. My vote counted; I can feel it.

    Not a complaint, I’m genuinely curious: Why did you say ‘whinge’ instead of ‘whine’? I realize it’s a British/Australian expression, but I’ve been seeing it more and more frequently, and it seems to be becoming something of a web-phenomenon.

    Miss C.–We, too, had a lot of local races with only one party/one person running.

    Renee–It was kind of cool. Guess my tinfoil hattiness was totally unwarranted. Though there are some real tinfoil hat folks who are claiming that this was a way to dump the blame on Dems for a lot of stuff, then come roaring back in 2008.

    PAGent–”Whinge”. I am on some boards with English/Canadian types, and they use it regularly. I like it because it sounds so silly. I also like using it now and then so I’m not constantly whining about the constant whining in the household. :D (Though the constant whining is lowering to a simmer. Yay!)
