9. This is kind of a tough call. Free choice is an amazing right...

and I can’t imagine not voting. I’ve left things blank on ballots, but just being able to have a countable voice is something I cherish. I just don’t know how we can get everyone to feel that way.

Some “requirements” are indeed positive...seat belt laws for one much simpler example. People still don’t wear them and to their own detriment but the law is still for the betterment of all.

We must have forms of law.

My nature is still to come down heavily on the side of free choice. Force has some seriously heavy consequences. (Even if it might...MIGHT benefit your current cause) And it wouldn’t stop the corruption of payoffs. Just shift the focus.

How do you create the genuine passion to vote by free choice if it isn’t obvious already?
We sure could use an answer this year.
