If not, shame on you. The way I see it, you only have the right to bitch and moan about our leadership if you take five minutes to register as well as fifteen minutes to stand in line, flash your registration card, and then VOTE. Even if you don't live in a swing state. Even if you live in Texas, where running out to vote any party that doesn't start with an R can feel pointless 100% of the time - do it anyway! Reserve your right to bitch and moan while feeling smugly justified! That's what motivates my rear to get to the booth in a month or so, that and the memory of feeling like a total schmo for voting Nader last time around.

Remember when all that seemed important was that Ralph got his 5 percent of the vote? Ah, those were the days.
