Ironically, ending the state run liquor store monopoly is on my ballot this year.

I will say if there is ever a vote on ballot to turn Smith County and/or Tyler, TX from a dry to a wet county I will do whatevet it takes to cast my vote. I'm an Adam Smith voter - when it is in my rational self-interest I will vote.

I vote because I have this Pollyannish view that it actually matters. Actually here in the last few years the races have been close enough it kind of does… But at the least, I can take a principled stand after and know I tried. My state has a lot of really critical (to me) initiatives so I made sure I voted. I hate, however, the mail in only elections that we have moved to here.

I vote because it is the right thing for me as a citizen to do. What the government does (or doesn't do) beyond that is their responsibility. I have willingly, gratefully performed my responsibility.

Practical as well as principled reasons for doing so. Practical: I still have a MI drivers license and am really reluctant to give it up. So, I'm not registered in TX. I neglected/didn't feel motivated to get an absentee ballot to vote in MI. Principle: I have no faith in they system and and at least for this election don't feel like acting as if I do. I confess I feel a little guilty as I think I have been conditioned to believe I should vote. I think I'll get over that.

Tonight I go and vote (and presume everyone I don't vote for wins) and then I use the Coupon Disney gave me for $8 off Toy Story 3 and watch that instead of election coverage.
