To be enfranchised

Ahem, so it's election time where I live. Our premier, in effort to rig the election, only gave his opponents 29 days to campaign. Yeah, that's really fair. Not!

And b/c I still hadn't changed my address w/ the govt, I would need to vote in a different division, which would take me about 45 minutes to get there...at least. Or I could just walk up 3 blocks, show 2 pieces of ID and vote. Think I'll take the latter.

Yeah, so even if it wasn't my day off, I would still vote. It's my hard-won right (being female and a minority). However my roommate, is lazy and doesn't know anything about politics, says that he won't. Well, then he can't complain about the govt. He whines, "Oh but I pay taxes!" Well then why don't you pick who manages your money? Oh wait, that's right. He's always flat broke and doesn't know how to do that. Well then I guess for him, anyone is better than himself.
