Want to fight the system? Vote, and respect the opinions of others.

While this can be filed in your "ignore all political pontificating" bins for some and won't necessarily change anyone's mind, I felt the need to say something. Tomorrow is Michigan's primary election. Please, go out and vote. This election cycle has been and promises to be especially disheartening to the majority of Americans who believe in having reasonable discussion about important issues without engaging in name-calling, slander, and fear-mongering. With all of the vitriol out there, it can be easy to decide to throw your hands up and be done with the whole thing. So many of us are fed up with the "system" and the partisanship and dissent, it is tempting to disengage or become jaded; I urge you to fight the system a different way.
