I have no idea what country you are living in, but where I am, voting is a *responsibility* of every citizen. If I wish to enjoy the rights and privileges that go along with citizenship, the least I can do is choose the lesser of the evils I am presented with every four years or so - and if I disagree with the way the system is set up (which, incidentally, I do), not taking that responsibility is not necessarily going to send any other message than that I'm too apathetic to get off my duff and do something about it. Just out of curiosity, how would you have positions of power be filled, if not by some sort of electoral process? Or do you have some idea for a way to run a country without a need for leadership of any sort?
