Civic Duty

By Mark Boudreau 05 Nov 2002

Has everyone voted? Has everyone been as bummed by the choices they have been given on the ballot? Am I just unusually pessimistic and cynical or are elections really that bad these days?

<p>The two main parties are accusing each other of some really nasty tricks. It looks like there are going to be lawsuits deciding some of the closer elections.</p>

<p>Then, I have the bad feeling that no matter what party has control of federal or state government, the bureacracy is so messed up that it will make little difference for the citizens.</p>

<p>Can anyone turn my frown upside down and help me see a light at the end of the tunnel?</p>
