On Voting

There are elections being held at the university I attend today and tomorrow. I predict widespread apathy. These are the same people who do not vote for local and state officials as well (and rarely think about presidential elections either). This leads me to wonder why something so important has become so unimportant in the minds of "my generation". I wonder, has anything changed? Was one vote ever something that made the difference? Everyone is out for themselves it seems- if they can't change the world with one action, then why do it at all? The irony is that it is in your best interest to vote- which means it does matter, despite the consequences of inaction being delayed. Those consequences will come. Go out and vote. It won't rock the world immediately- but neither will not spending your entire paycheck on booze. We do little things that add up to big things all the time- and they are good for us and those we care about. Go and vote, even for your student government. Bad arguments will not turn laziness into a virtue. Vote.
