Vote

 Voting is a right and a duty. One many places in the world still do not have. And so, I wonder why it has come to further divide this country. Not just along political lines but ethnic and financial ones too. Only felons and non citizens are not allowed to vote. So why is it such a problem for anyone else. Polls are open to everyone. If you truly cared you could get to one. You could ask for a mail in ballot and even scrounge up the money to pay postage if you had to. If you don't care why do you have to complain like the rest of the people are keeping you from voting. It is too far, costs too much, I have to work, excuses not reasons, and if it were important to you you would find a way.

Um duh. If you don't work and earn money and save for things you want you don't get them. And you shouldn't. What happened to the Americans who worked and expected nothing from anyone. Where did all those people go?
