VOTING: Apathy has become detrimental
Dick Powell is correct that voters need to vote for more than the letter R or D.

Russia kills off the opposition, North Korea has no elections, Afghanistan under the Taliban has ended all rights for women beyond breeding and feeding. Living in places where monarchs, dictators, rulers, sheikhs and ayatollahs control all aspects of life (and death) you can pray or beg for their benevolence with little impact.
