Tempted...

[seldear]

I was tempted to say something to the effect of:

"Go forth my pretties and VOTE!"

And then I realised that I didn't vote in the recent Australian elections.

However, that was because I was a lapsed voter and I didn't get my rego in soon enough to be allowed it. Otherwise, I'd have braved the leaflet-hander-outers and gone voted with my sister. Never mind that our area is blue-ribbon Liberal (which, in American terms, probably means closer to the Republican policies than the Democratic policies - go figger).

Y'all are voting, right? Every one of you on my flist that is in the US of A? Land of the free, the *mumbles something - I keep thinking it's 'stout' but that can't be right*, and the brave, etc, etc, etc... (Hey, it's not my national anthem! We're just young and free here in the land of Oz.)

Oh, and that wank I pointed out the other week? 500+ replies. And the lady who 'caused' it all (not the Danielite Diva - who apparently made a big song and dance at sgfic) is having a field day! (Remember the 2002 GC auction? It's like that, only at F_W!)

One of the pro's to livibng where I do - you just amble along to the Sandfly hall walk straight in (with a few people politely offering how-to-vote leaflets), vote, and walk straight out. Easy *g*

It's horrible here in the Sydney electorates. You could resurrect a tree with the amount of paper they waste. (Okay, so it would be a red and blue and green and ugh tree, but it would still be a tree's worth of woodpulp!)

Heh. We have a big box at the door for recycling.

Yes, but still! The needless deaths of trees...

True...although, in the case of first time clueless voters such as myself a small supply of how to vote cards are handy ;)
