I collectively determine my own. I also determine the message I send to others. I know that if some on the fence see apathy, they may be inclined to be apathetic. It is the reality of human nature to follow trends. Negativity breeds negativity, apathy breeds apathy.
I checked out Balwin just now, sounds like a nice guy with the right ideas. Only problem seems to be that he has no experience running anything. Not even a 5 and dime.

Like voting Democratic or Republican every election?
IMHO, you are the apathetic one in this conversation. You are completely apathetic (apparently) about supporting candidate who supports the greatest leap to socialism since the New Deal. Perhaps a McCain presidency will finally shake you from apathetic stupor about that matter.
