Gee whiz, and here I thought that I was endowed by my Creator with that right...didn't know it was you.
So, I guess if I vote for the Constitution Party, or maybe the Natural Law Party, I'll get my right back?
So far as 'respect', well, I just gotta respect myself...which means doing what I consider right, even if nobody else in the whole world agrees. And I'm okay with that.
Not only do you dishonor your country by not voting, but you dishonor the men and women who gave their lives so you can vote.
But your Creator gave you free will. Only you can decide whether it is right for you to bitch and complain when things aren't hunky dory from 04-08. I already know it is wrong. But when you don't exercise your *right* to vote, then you have nothing to complain about except your own failure to be a catalyst for change.
