I have to say that people are already asking if I've decided on who I want as President in '08... let's see.. dishonest or dishonest? Immoral or Immoral? More taxes or More National Deficit? Decisions decisions! I totally agree that it doesn't even seem worth voting sometimes. I do agree with what I've heard others say though.. "If you don't vote, you have no right to complain!" <em>Mandy's last blog post..</em><a href='http://peaceandcraziness.blogspot.com/2007/11/whats-with-attitude.html' rel="nofollow">What's with the attitude?</a> I realize this is an old post, but with the Pres. election coming up it just seemed fitting to “refresh” it.

He's pretty far out there. but I've always thought this Michael Moore quote is pretty funny...he says that most people today vote with the idea that they are choosing between "the lesser of two evils." Moore says that it's more like "choosing between the evil of two lessers." Perhaps this describes the Monticello mayoral race also.
