hi Will,
Great points, and thanks for making me laugh. I have to admit you’re probably right that most voters think they are informed (enough) whether I think so or not. And your point about 95% of drivers thinking they are above average is hillarious (and probably true). And of course all of our kids are “above average”! Great comment. ~ Steve

Good advice, but I think most people who vote BELIEVE they are informed. Sort of like how 95% of drivers believe they are “above average” drivers. Or how us parents ALL think we have “above average” kids!

Hey Steve,

It’s a sad fact, in this election there are more young people turn out to vote. They voted mainly because the media told them too. It’s a mob mentality. Voting is now as trivial and absurd as Digg.com. They can just close their eyes and pick whatever others picked. No informed decision, indeed.

With the “change” in presidency, I can’t help but fear America is losing it’s greatness. What do we do when the empire is crumbling? Leave it? Or fight for it? I would choose the latter.

hi Tim,
I agree with both your analogies. Don’t just follow the herd, and don’t get taken with a politician telling you to climb the fence with them because the grass is greener on the other side. Odds are it’s still the same grass, and someone still has to mow it, and the water for it still has to come from somewhere.

I completely agree. Don’t be a sheep, following the herd to the “greener” grass.

hi Lin,
Thanks for stopping by, and I couldn’t agree with you more. I don’t understand how people can be “undecided” the day before the election.

Hey man, you’re absolutely right. Either Don’t Vote at all or be an Informed Voter. It surprises me to read about many “voters” who claim to still be undecided. Good grief, if ya haven’t figured out yet who you’re going to vote for and who you feel is the best candidate to be President of the United States, then just DON’T VOTE at all.

RT, Thanks. Link fixed. The one time I publish and then don’t check my work, this happens. That’ll teach me! ~ Steve, the Trade Show Guru

Steve, check the link for Fourth of July — something isn’t right there.
