Powerful stuff. I'm always afraid to tell people I don't vote because I know so many women who berate me for not using my rights as a women. Women fought and died for me to have the right to vote. Right = choice = responsibility. Therefore it is my right to choose to not vote. Besides, do I want to go and give my energy in a pole and give volt (not vote) to someone to rule over me, to put someone in CHARGE, charge them with my already low energy? Nope! I may do so for the Libertarian party of Canada, even if I know they will never get elected because they are not part of the Elite. But it sends a message. I can make a responsible and calculate decision. I can choose to vote, I can choose to not vote.

I'm with you on all points. It's great that you know how to express them so eloquently. And I agree, it could have been much longer, because there is so much that can be said ;)
