> Do you read a newspaper? Do you have access to the internet?
i dont get a newspaper at uni. while living at home, i got two and a news magazine. yes, i have access to the internet. before the election, i even *gasp* looked up information about the various candidates. are you aware that not all of them have pictures online? or the sites i looked at didnt always have pics anyway. in any case, when i found out the republicans had the house majority, i lost interest. this country continues to go down the f***ing toilet.
> So does that mean you shouldn't either?
no, it doesn't, but don't get all high and mighty.
> So what?
it doesn't justify my not being able to recognise her picture, but by the same token, most people wouldnt be able to. are you british? because i just read a survey that said something like 80% of all brits couldnt name more than 2 world leaders. guess which two they did know? yes, that's right, bush and blair. so don't act like i'm some kind of evil, ignorant person.
> Why didn't you contact the elections board yourself and have an absentee
> ballot sent yourself?
uh, because i thought it was in the f***ing mail! i live at uni but my uni is only 20 minutes or so from my house. i dont want to change my official mailing address because 1) i think im going to transfer and 2) i dont want my mail to continue coming here during winter and summer vacations and it's a pain in the ass to keep changing it. now, i would have got an absentee ballot sent to uni if i hadnt told my dad to forward on to me the one i had them sent to my house.
now please, do as i say, and go f*** yourself.
