Fools! That’s who.

I used to be filled with a lot of voter apathy before I was 18 and would openly admit that I had no interest in voting. Until one day my Grandpa pulled me aside and told me that if you don’t think your vote matters or that it doesn’t make a difference fine. But people through history have fought, sacrificed, and died for the right that you are shamelessly passing up. There are people all over the world that don’t have the fundamental freedom of choice and they would give a lot to be in the position that you are in.

It was a pretty big kick in the ass. I have voted in every election since I turned 18.
