For the past several months, every time I pass their way, they were talking about Obama this and Obama that. So today I asked them if they voted and their response was they don’t vote because it does not mean anything. And then they gave the usual explanation many give to justify not voting, the electoral college. I wanted to give them the “if you are not part of the solution, then you are part of the problem” speech, but realized I was wasting my time. Besides, these Obama supporters were way, way, way old enough to know better. Just had that conversation with some folks earlier today Bruce.
