From the Notebooks of Lazarus Long, by Robert A. Heinlein
"If you are part of a society that votes, then do so. There may be no candidates and no measures you want to vote for...but there are certain to be ones you want to vote against. In case of doubt, vote against. By this rule you will rarely go wrong.
If this is too blind for your taste, consult some well-meaning fool (there is always one around) and ask his advice. Then vote the other way. This enables you to be a good citizen (if such is your wish) without spending the enormous amount of time on it that truly intelligent exercise of franchise requires."

Hmm, this Long fellow wasn't one to mince words or sentiments, was he? Makes me feel than un-citizenry is perhaps without merit to the higher qualities of ones brain!
Very interesting thoughts from Notebooks of Lazarus Long. I'm glad you posted this!
LMAO! Well, Mr. Long sounds like my kind of man (and not just because of the name either). Well, I've updated my BlogLine links to keep pace with your journal so now I'm not a HO either. :-)
