Well that, and uninformed voters. Its amazing the number of people who can't even name their Congressmen or Senators, much less tell you anything about the founding of our country, or the basic rights listed in the Constitution, but they are more than willing to cancel my vote out based on ignorance. I should know, I was one of them (see my profile page)

We had a local referendum here last month on a SPLOST, and one of the fellow soccer moms asked me what a SPLOST was (Special Local Option Sales Tax). It passed, and our property taxes will come down now, but still...

I work the soccer fields hard, lol.

The uniformed voters, need to be informed by those who are informed.
