is that.. is that... FORESHORTENING??!! just when I had become accustomed to the fact that that your comics are always sidescrollers... now you are, like, pointing at the reader! What's next? bird's eye views?
There's really no excuse for that type of mentality any longer. I can understand the idea of picking "the lesser of two evils" made people apathetic for many, many years...but we're headed in a new direction. America is about to change in historic ways.
Go to Barack Obama's Town Hall Meeting today in downtown Kansas City. It's free and open to the public.
If after seeing him speak, you still feel like not voting is your best option and you really enjoy "being part of the problem," then that's okay.
But I imagine he'll change your mind.

Town Hall Meeting with Barack Obama
Tuesday, January 29th
Municipal Auditorium Exhibition Hall 301 W. 13th Street Kansas City
It's not that I think voting isn't my best option, I honestly, truly, just don't care. I know that's horrible, but it's true. I kept trying to make myself care, but it never stuck. I know a lot of people don't vote because they wonder what the point is, but that's not me. I know there's a point in voting, and I actually am registered (I was kidding), but after voting in so many elections (local too) I realized that I never felt any sense of accomplishment or propriety or whatever...I just felt like I'd wasted my time, and spent my vote on things that I ultimately didn't care one way or another about. Essentially, I don't vote because I don't think I care enough to deserve to vote. Probably doesn't make sense, but for now, that's just the way it is.
Incidentally, I wanted to go to the Obama thing just because he's an interesting and erudite fella, but I couldn't get the day off work. Maybe in another four years, then.

Smokey, my friend, you are entering a world of pain.
You know that I don't vote, right? Not even registered. I like being part of the problem.
John,

You're going to skewer me in a future Foxymoron, aren't you?
