I must say that I take George Carlin's view on it. I don't leave the house on election day unless I have to work. I haven't liked any of the people running for office on the national level since I've been able to vote, so I'm not even registered. It's my belief that the system that we have was well designed for the time that it was created, but with everything that has happened, the America of today is nowhere near what is was over 200 year's ago. I'm not saying we should change from democracy, I just think we need to step back and revamp the system to something a bit more modern. The other thing about it is most people seem to just vote for the incumbent regardless of the job they did, and subsequently nothing that's wrong with the government gets fixed. If you keep the same tired views in office, you can't expect a better government to emerge. Let us not forget the election that voted a dead person into the office over living people because no one had taken his name off the ballet.
