It's a crime ... not to vote! Ask mom, she'll tell ya'
Of course, it's not really a crime not to vote, unless you look at it the same way your momma did when she used to coerce you into eating your (canned) vegetables (found out years later I love vegetables, just not in a can).
Anyway, moms all across America would remind me us that "starving kids in China" would love to eat said canned vegetables. I don't know why it was always Chinese kids and not say, Italian kids or Canadian kids.
The point is this: Voting is a lot like eating your vegetables, canned or otherwise. They might not always leave a great taste in your mouth, but it's good for you. And there are people all over the world, who unlike the "alleged" starving kids in China, really are quite hungry to have the opportunity to vote in a democratic election.
When they don't, as in Kenya bad things happen, including people dying.
It's nice that at about 9 million Californians, representing about 57 percent of registered voters, are expected to vote today, which would be a record for a presidential primary, but still that's 43 percent that aren't participating.
So, if you didn't participate this time, next time around, get your political spoon out, wipe off the dust, hold your nose (you might have to) and take a big bite.
