This article is so strange. It shows all the reasons why buying a PC with Windows Vista is a terrible idea, and yet the author seems perfectly happy with his Vista computer, even after paying absurd amounts of money to fix something that shouldn’t have broke in the first place. 

Studies show that people become much more likely to vote if somebody calls them and asks, “Are you planning on voting?” which is why all of the people who try to promote a certain candidate always start off with that question.

 Could you also ask somebody “Are you planning on buying a new Apple computer within the next month?” to boost sales?  

People say that voting doesn’t really matter, because in the big picture, one vote for one candidate isn’t really going to make that much difference. And this is something that I’ve had a hard time coming to terms with too, but I think I figured it out.

The point of voting is not to ensure that the right person gets elected or that the right ideas get placed in motion, because, as mentioned above, one vote is not really going to make a huge difference. Rather, I think the point of voting is to be aware of the issues and to care about them to the point where you are able to publicly commit to what you believe. Once you have enough people caring about issues and participating in the argument, then you can finally start seeing great changes that save people, nations, and ideals. 

We vote to preserve our right to argue.
