Mandatory poll post

I've been reading many blogs and Facebook updates, and they are all abuzz with the millions of aspects of the greatest vote-casting exercise in human history. The tone, in most places, is pessimistic.

There simply is no choice- all of them seem equally bad. So, what's the point in voting? Is there any point in voting? Of course there is. It lets you shift the blame when things dont work out.

History has taught us that change comes to us in many and unexpected ways. Go vote. Maybe you'll find the girl/guy of your dreams in the polling line. You could then get started on a non-political discussion about the weather and the spring blooms, and live happily ever after.

Go vote- that's the only time you're treated like a king (unless someone already proxy-voted for you, of course), and you should, repeat should, make hay while the sun shines.

Go vote- Chances are that your vote no. 489563948 was the winning one!!! Please send us your personal details (don't forget your bank details, duh!) to claim the prize!
