ok, so i am going to get dressed and go to vote on the way to work. i heard a disturbing piece on npr about the apathy of the 18-24 year old voters- who seem to think that if they don't vote they won't therefore be responsible for the sorry state of affairs in america- or they don't care about the issues, or they are just too lazy to find out about the issues- needless to say, it was quite discouragiong to hear that less than 20% of eligible voters may turn out today, and the % of the young will be miniscule. acw is registered- i will be quite shocked if he shows up to vote today. ecw just got back from voting- he said that the polls were not crowded at all. he was shocked to find that my dad is still on the rolls as eligible despite being in a nursing home and quite senile.....my mother tried to vote FOR him in the last election, but was denied on this request.........there is stioll some justice in america....
