Voting is mob rule at worst, ineffective, pretend citizen involvement  
at best.
Voting leads to bad things, 90% of the time.
Show me some examples of voting producing an better than average result.
The last two nation-wide votes in the U.S. produced GWB ..... reason  
enough to question the idea of voting.  And the democratic candidate  
would have been just as bad, just in a different way.

McCain will keep the U.S. in Iraq for 100 years, Obama will rule us
