As a citizenry, we've allowed ourselves to be lazy and ceded much authority to government. Our choice to not diligently supervise government will, most likely, end our republic.

I think you are right. We get the government we deserve.

No, she's right. If the MAJORITY of people didn't vote, it wouldn't change the power structure at all--other than the minority determining who wins the elections.

Thanks, MM!!

I would say it is wrong to vote for "lesser of two evils". Also, I do agree that in principle not voting does not solve the problem, the ruling elites are not affected by how many will show up to vote. In order to really affect the politics an alternative to reptoids needs to be provided. Internet has become valuable source of information and tool for fund-raising. There is something that can be learned from Ron Paul. Any system can be beaten.
