Reply #14: This rant explains in most specific details

why most people in this country do not vote. They see it as being futile. As someone just said to me the other day, "why should I vote, they are all the same, crooks and liars. Nothing will change." People feel hopeless and that's what has to change.

I just finished watching Iron Jawed Angels, the HBO movie about how women got the right to vote. I was amazed and never knew the details of how that came about. Seems to me that very few are willing to fight the way they did. The sad part is that these brave women went through hell to get the vote and yet some treat voting with such distaste.

I truly believe that most of this country will not stand up and take a stand until it effects them personally. The only problem then is it will be too late.
