-- Do you vote? --

Yes, depending on the office and candidates. My point was that the right to vote is not an equivalent to living in a government that limits itself according to the constitution.

But many people draw a connection there; for example, if they can vote, then the outcome is fair. The vote is an important ritual, but it need not represent personal freedom or limited government in order to placate the masses. In fact, a fraction of the masses votes for MORE government.
