Do you think people would by upset if suddenly Women couldn't vote? Or maybe we decided anyone with blue eyes couldn't vote? Salt Lake City had a good turnout for voting today. 35% I think that's pathetic. Now that everyone in this country can vote everyone takes it for granted, and 2/3 of the people sit at home and watch Dancing with the Stars instead of taking 10 minutes to vote. And then we all complain when someone like Rocky Anderson tries to ruin Salt Lake City. Another thing that is really bothering me? Referendum 1. Let's just say the state of Utah failed it's I.Q. test. All the opposition to this was a bunch of garbage and I can't believe so many people were misled. The fact that we won't have vouchers isn't as big of a deal to me as how uninformed people can be. I went to a debate on this issue and anyone with a High School education could see that the opposition's arguments were unfounded and untrue. So I hope you voted today.

I agree whole-heartedly. People take the ability to vote too lightly. We need a good old fashioned dictator to shake things up. How about those who don't vote can go live in Pakistan for a few months. Or better yet, North Korea. (this is a joke).
Good post...I agree not enough people vote. I also think it's funny the referendum failed...like you said, any research beyond the propaganda on TV and it was clear vouchers would do nothing but benefit schoolchildren.
