Of eligible voters, 49% were no-shows at the ballot box. So here comes your local news reporter asking if you voted today.
"Nope. I don't vote."
"No. I never have."
"No. I don't understand the politics."
"Sawee." (Vancouver)
Etc etc.
When these nicely dressed smart-ass nobodies find themselves in a foreign jail, maybe they will reconsider the value of the government they might have voted in.
Or during their next defense against being crowded by bad opinion they might appreciate the ultimate social value of democracy.
But methinks they play video games too much (97% of our teens) and us adults watch Disteria Lane (or something). There is a form of intellectual debauchery in which animated corpses might have membership and those no-thinkers are goose-stepping with the best of them.
