I remember reading about "free elections" in Iraq like 10 years ago or so where Saddam Hussein "won" 100% of the vote. We live in a country where many of us take for granted so many of our liberties. Hell, the fact that some choose not to vote is a freedom in of itself--at least we can choose not to vote. Don't trust politicians? Fine...vote on the many other referendums and amendments on the ballot: repairing schools, improving the local commercial economy, improving the city's fine arts and recreational facilities... Don't complain about there being more jails than schools or that there are no programs to keep kids out of trouble when you didn't go vote for those things when you had the chance. It's your city, own it!!
