Vote!Posted by Lesley (Lincoln, United States) on 4 November 2008 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio. Shot at the corner of Cornhusker Highway and 84th Street in Lincoln, Nebraska Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote. Constantly choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil. Half of the American people never read a newspaper. Half never voted for President. One hopes it is the same half. The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter. Democracy is the recurrent suspicion that more than half of the people are right more than half of the time. “It's not the voting that's democracy; it's the counting. “Those who stay away from the election think that one vote will do no good: 'Tis but one step more to think one vote will do no harm."
