Everyone I have tried to spark interest in these recent events has basically replied, "Good, there's too much (fill-in-what-they-hate) on TV", "Nothing I can do about it", or "So what". Everyone I encouraged to vote told me later they "forgot" or were too busy. The little back door in the building where I vote was not even labeled this time, no signs in the parking lot, same around town for other precincts. They even handed me a ballot with the only choice of GWB for president and were aggravated when I gave it back for the Democratic form (they had the Republican sign-in table set up where the Democratic has been for as long as I've been old enough to vote). My precinct is several thousand and includes a major section of our town's commercial district. Including myself, 11 people from this precinct voted.
We who care on messageboards are a "lunatic fringe". John Q. Public doesn't give a shit and won't until it is too late for something he enjoys.
