Two Slightly Unconventional Positions On Election Day

Make Election Day A National Holiday

This, to me, continues to be one of the stupidest and most frustrating things in America. How is Election Day not a National Holiday? Voting is (supposedly) one of our greatest rights and one of America's greatest claims to fame; we can't have it be a day off to make sure everyone has a chance to particpate? Wouldn't our Presidents gladly give up a holiday for themselves for eveyone to participate in and then celebrate the Right To Vote? Wouldn't MLK support that as well? And for God's sake, does anyone not in the banking business or post office even know when Columbus Day is? No one even likes Columbus anymore!

This is a travesty. Please, give everyone the oppoturnity to vote, and the chance to celebrate one of our greatest rights. Let's make Election Day a National Holiday

Everyone Vote...If You've Done You're Homework

As my previous point above shows, I most certainly believe in the right of every American to vote, and of course who am I to argue with "Vote or Die, Mother Fuckers". That being said...I still want/expect Americans to act responsibly.

Do your homework people. I'm not asking you to be experts, but have at least a fair idea of where candidates stand on major issues. Thanks to the miracle of the internet, it's easy in this day and age to have a working knowledge of the candidates you are asked to vote on. No voting for Clinton because you think he's cute, Bush because he owned the Rangers, or Obama because he's black, and for God's sake please just don't vote based on party lines. Please, take a few minutes, become an informed voter, familiarize yourself with the two candidates, and cast an educated ballot.

The world will be a better place if you do.

Happy Election Day! God Bless America!
