It doesn't need to be written out that you need to vote for you to realize how important it is.


Exercising your freedoms would be taking a stance, not sitting back and watching the world pass you by. And you are right one vote won't change anything by itself, but by taking a positive attitude you will influence others around you into believing in their choice and that kind of attitude is contagious, or atleast i would hope so in this modern world; otherwise you will let others run all over you.
The only frustrating thing about debating this with you is the fact that you say the right things, but from a different point of view and with a different meaning, without regard for others' views. I understand your mentality and when you mention taking a stance, that is exactly what I'm doing. I have followed both campaigns and am well aware of the policies being discussed. I am exercising my freedom to it's fullest extent.

I do vote as I have said earlier and when you say I am just sitting back watching the world pass me by, you couldn't be further from the truth. Voting for something you don't believe is far more passive than refusing to vote for that same thing.
