Do you think I'm alone in this? If I were, you're right: no one would care. But I'm not alone in this, and you almost certainly know that.
And why shouldn't people care about what I want? Don't I have a hand in running the country? Isn't that the whole point of democracy? Don't you think We the People have a duty to keep an eye on the activities of the governments who are supposed to serve us (not the other way around)?
You might as well say: No one cares what Martin Luther King has to say (not that I'm claiming similarity to his stature by any means) because he is only one man, one voice, one vote. However, he spoke for others, and provided an inspiration for many. I may not be in anything like the same league as MLK, but the premise is the same: individuals ought to speak out if they feel something is wrong. They ought to make their opinions known. You are very free to listen or to blow me off. If no one cares, then no one does, but that doesn't mean that I shouldn't speak out anyway, even in this limited sort of fashion.
Your comment seems to me to be a sort of off-handed way of stiffling any dissention. That seems to me to be un-American, as we cherish the right of other people voicing their opinions, even if we disagree with them. Happily, I'll do what I feel best regardless of whether you, or anyone else, cares about what I have to say.
