Get out and Vote!!!

Yes, it's true. For this election I'm actually going to register and vote in the presidential election. It's also true that this will be the first time I've ever registered to vote in over 40 years of living on this planet. Why? I feel strongly enough that I have to cast my vote so whatever happens I can say that I did everything I could to influence the election. Yes, now I'll be subject to getting called for jury duty. Yes, I'll be "on the grid" a little more for the MAN who's watching these things. BUT, I do feel so strongly this time that I can't sit by and watch others do my work. I used to be one of those people that thought my vote wouldn't make a difference, and I guess the Bush/Gore fiasco of several years ago proved that's true, but nonetheless I'm going to try. For my child's sake I have to try.

I challenge all my brethren in the various techie fields to register and vote. I don't care who you vote for, just get out and do it. If I can, you can.
