ALL votes are individual. Added up, they create the collective response to an issue or a person running for office. Voting is the breath of our form of governance. If one wants another form, don't vote and it will come to you.

Interesting comments about voting. One comment I hear a lot is, "If you don't vote, you do not have the right to complain." I disagree. We can always complain if one feels to do so. I vote as a civic duty. I might spend a couple of hours conducting research only if there's an issue that needs to be voted on. As far as anger and getting upset as Ryan had discussed, I feel ya! The click of the seat belts, the incessant talking on mobile devices, the rush to the front of the plane...it can be irritating. Personally, I wait. I wait for the bulk of the people to get off. There are always a few stragglers left that are in no rush. I do understand the need to exit the plane if a connection is tight. I always, ALWAYS leave extra time between flights even if it means a slightly longer day. PS Bring a good book! :-) Finally, I have become aware od when I get upset. I go into instant analysis mode. Is anything going to change if I get upset, if I get angry, if I fly into a rage? For me, the answer is always 10/10, no...nothing will change. Living life without anger and upset is so much more enjoyable. Life is too short to get angry. :-) Thanks Team! Great episode!
