Quote:No. Some people are involved, the majority are apathetic. That's why most people who vote (and that is already a relatively small portion of the whole population) vote the straight party ticket -- they don't give a damn, they can't be bothered to actually think. Your proposal would hardly change that.I heard of a quote recently that is appropriate here, from one of my heroes, Thomas Jefferson who said (amongst other great things), âIf once the people become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, Judges and Governors, shall all become wolves. It seems to be the law of our general nature, in spite of individual exceptions.â
Baaaa!
