Nonny, you have every right to be disgusted. Apathy is a disgusting trait. I"d be mad too. I'm always p!ssed by low voter turnout in elections. I couldn't wait to register to vote when I turned 21 (the voting age back then). There are two things I can do to help/serve my country: voting and giving blood. And I do both religiously. (haven't been able to give blood for months tho as I don't weigh enough!)

I've only missed two elections in the last 36 years. I know people who won't register to vote as they don't want to be called for jury duty. I'm dying to be called for jury duty so I can be a fair juror and make sure that justice is served. Anyone remember the classic Henry Fonda picture 12 Angry Men. If you haven't seen it, it's worth the watch. Made in the 50s but still applicable to today. Directed by a young Sidney Lumet, and an excellently made movie.

Well, now I'm rambling. But I sure understand your worthy whine Nonny, and understand your frustration. Give 'em hell Nonny!!
