I was just too young in 1972, although I was for Nixon. I doubt I voted in 74, but I did in 76, for Ford.

1980, for Reagan. One of the best decisions I have made in my lifetime.

Well, if I had been alive and 18 in 1980, I wouldn't have voted for Reagan. I wouldn't have been able to trust him.

2000, I voted for Bush.

Same for me....I just squeaked in age-wise.

Reader's Digest version:

Whatever reason you use to not vote don't complain when it goes in a way you don't like.

I never sincerely complain about election results. See my Carlin clip above.

OK. I might have misunderstood then. Do you really see voting as immoral or was that a joke? You don't care what laws are passed? If I rmember correctly you seem pretty upset with the rainwater thing and the milk thing.

Edit: maybe the misunderstanding is between voting for a candidate and voting for certain laws that show up on the ballot.
