Actually, I was going to call this post something like "Why Vote?" but the TV is on and the Uncle's A.D.D. is kicking up.
So, why vote?
After all, Crouse and Jackson are running unopposed for two village trustee seats.
Well, for one thing, if you think Crouse is doing a good job and that Jackson is a good choice, then vote to tell them so.
And, if you are undecided about one or both of them, by voting, you say that you are interested enough to get your tushy down to the polls, and that will let them know that you are out there and that you matter.
And, if you think that Crouse is awful, terrible and a blight - or that Jackson is the worst choice since any given year of American Idol - then vote for one and not the other and send that message.
And, if you think that they are both commie, homo, terrorists, then go into the booth, don't pull either lever and open the booth. That counts too.
But if you don't show up at all, then the only message that you are sending is that you don't give a crow's heinie; that what your government does is of absolutely no interest to you.
And that's a remarkably dumb message to send.
