Everyone should vote? I don't think so. Paraphrasing one of Neal Postman's principles of new technologies: just because you can doesn't mean you should.
So who should not vote?
- The apathetic.
- Those who don't know what apathetic means, and don't want to.
- People for whom emotion always trumps reason.
- Those who think all politicians are equal.
- People just voting for any change at all.
- Those who believe the only motivation for change is fear.
- Those who believe the only motivation for keeping things the same is fear.
- People who are willfully uninformed in an information age.
America is not great because we were born here. It is great because of the ideas and the system of government we have a chance to go out and be a part of today.
