Voting As A Responsibility

4 November 2002

It’s always been pretty obvious to me that being a U.S. citizen carries with it some responsibilities. One of those is voting. Cognitive dissonance outstrips my disgust when I hear someone who doesn’t vote complaining about this country.

Rights? Sure, you’ve got a right to complain, but your complaint seems much more genuine when I know you’ve voted. Nobody really knows for sure whether you vote or not, but saying you did when you didn’t is another matter altogether. That one gets covered under the responsibility called ’integrity.’
