On the contrary, I think. If you vote and the system ends up picking the other guy (or gal) you have no right to complain because the system worked. I, on the hand, can complain because I think the system is wrong.
I think your logic is flawed, because, at least you tried. Making an effort may not influence the outcome but it does show character and determination to at least make the attempt. To sit back and do nothing is a ..well I won't say anything about it because it wouldn't be complimentry.
On the salary issue: I think you are right on a national level, but I was referring to the local level as well. Here in Saginaw, Michigan, for instance, we're in the red, yet our representives decided that they should get more money! Now how does that make sense? I think the same happened in the state government, as well. How does that make sense?
I do believe ANY salary increase at any level of government should be directly tied to results. And reductions would be possible. (in my fantasy world that is [img]smile.gif[/img] ) [/QUOTE]
