It really doesn't matter what gav does since he couldn't vote here if he
wanted to. But, woods, if you go ahead with this plan to "protest" through
inaction, what do you think the net result will be? What separates your
"principled" non-vote from the non-votes of those too ignorant, stupid or
drunk to exercise their franchise?

It is hypocritical to whine about the "way things are" and then fail to take
the one action at your disposal to influence change. The fact is things are
the way they are because citizens do not take their responsibilities
seriously. Non-votes impress no one. They accomplish nothing but to
strengthen the position of powerful and monied interests. 

If you are dissatisfied with the choices on the ballot you are always free
to write in vote for RMP or Noneof Theabove. At least with a write in vote
you are making a legitimate political statement.
