Should everyone vote?

Everyone should be required to vote. A no vote would still be an option on the ballot, but if you can't get your lazy ass to the voting booth, then you should be kicked out of the country. As well as anyone whose primacy source of news is mickey mouse (abc) Instant Messanger (cbs) or some stupid peacock. Why do they do that anyway. They are the only channel with a mascot.

Even though I have never missed an election day since I was five, I completely disagree with you. In a free society, we should feel free to exercise our ability to vote for the candidates of our choice, or to protest by NOT voting. Frankly, I simply cannot imagine not voting - I think it's insulting to the several millions of people who have fought and died for us to have the privilege of voting - but I support the right of those who feel the need to protest.

As for F9/11, now that it's been proven that a large portion of the film is NOT a documentary so much as Michael Moore's version of the time, I will see it once it's considered a drama, and not a documentary. A documentary is to be a factual representation of events, not propaganda.
