Of course voting is useful. But then again, I don't put a big glow to it. Voting is about as essential as washing yourself. It's something you're supposed to do. Now, you can't go around bragging, expecting to get props because you voted. That's stupid.

A vote should be generative, not like business as usual, which is what voting feels like for most of us.

Voting is an individual, personal thing.

Voting is the foundational act that breathes life into the principle of the consent of the governed.

Voting is like alchemy - taking an abstract value and breathing life into it.

Voting is the expression of our commitment to ourselves, one another, this country and this world.

The vote is the most powerful instrument ever devised by man for breaking down injustice and destroying the terrible walls which imprison men because they are different from other men.

Voting is how we participate in a civic society - be it for president, be it for a municipal election. It's the way we teach our children - in school elections - how to be citizens, and the importance of their voice.
