Forgive me for the implications here, but when someone expects the right to cast a vote on such enormously important issues, but intentionally reduces their exposure to the facts and realities surrounding those issues - is in some way insane.

But neither do I think that you should in conscience vote for president, either.

You have misread my post if you believe that I am uninformed or otherwise close minded. Or perhaps it is just that I
must be uninformed if my views do not coincide with yours? I wonder if I am misreading your post. Are you actually saying that I should not have a right to cast a vote because you disagree with me? Ever heard of democracy and universal suffrage Mr. Stalin?
Ok, forget the Mr. Stalin crack. I don't think you are a bad person either Jim. But I do think that you missed the point of my previous post. If I had to highlight one thought to get across the point I was trying to make, it would be:
"
Feel free to discuss and express your own views and opinions, but please be respectful of the views and opinions of others in the process."
I take my right to vote very seriously and any insinuation that I do not deserve to exercise that right because of my views just flabbergasts me.
