Close enough. He also said he'd like it better if the clueless didn't vote. Chuck impressed the heck out of me with his ideas, his ability to present them and his sense of priorities.

It's not only a right but an obligation.

Lack of research and investigation of issues and candidates and voting inteligently by the public is what has gotten us into the mess that we're in today.
