"10. Really, you don't know how much your vote doesn't count.

9. Politics is for nerds.

8. The more you take an interest in not voting the more the candidates will cater to your every need to get you to vote for them.

7. You have to explain to your friends why you think that killing fetuses is OK or how you can condone a religious war in the 21st century.

6. You could do so many better things with that time, like... well whatever you want.

5. The South Paw [school newspaper] supports voting.

4. Have you seen Joe Biden and John McCain? Have you seen how old they are? I mean, like really looked?

3. If you vote then children will die.  This is your only warning.

2. When's the last time you voted? Never? No reason to start now.

1. A pack of mentally deranged hippos could run the country better than our government."

What do you think?  Post and comment.

A bunch of stupid garbage, especially numbers 9, 8, 7, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1.


So i guess i'm saying 6 is the only legit reason presented here.

I think 1 is valid as well.. although it's more of a reason to vote for hippos than to not vote

Here's a good non-voting article and bibliography.
