40. Good point
But what if the job has already been done?

With voting, we have e-voting machines made by corporations who are owned by Republicans. Maybe if more people voted in the past, that wouldn't have happened. But we all have to work so much just to get by, how can you stop corporations who's only job it is is to gain more and more power? Go hungry, poor?, and homeless? Maybe.

I just heard Bush on C-SPAN say that choices are good. The more choices consumers have, the better the product, at better the price.

Yet, in the political system, we have only 2 choices.

Maybe people that don't vote feel that the political system has let them down.

Is voting for Kerry going to change that in 2008? Is he going to uproot the current system? The corporations that pay for the Democratic Party don't want that. Does he have the will to go against that? Does any politician have the will to go against that?
