2012 Presidential Election

On Oct. 9 on PBS's Frontline, there will be a special on the 2 presidential candidates. Should be interesting and hopefully enlightening.

AMEN, IF YOU DO NOT VOTE , YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO MOUTH OFF.

I disagree. The logic of not voting as a political position is well documented online, so I won't lecture here. But in summary, by choosing to note vote you are declaring a belief that the system is inherently broken and you refuse to condone what the traditional parties perpetuate as "differing paths".

Well put, but there is always the chance that the non-voter is just plain lazy and indifferent.
