By Any Reasonable Measure
Jason Kuznicki on May 8th 2008
By any reasonable measure, my choice of what to eat on November 4, 2008 is going to have more of an effect on my life than my choice at the polls.
My vote will not be the decisive one for a variety of reasons: Maryland is solidly Democratic, it has few enough electoral votes that it may not matter anyway, I may vote Libertarian, and — my personal favorite reason — I suspect that even in almost totally fraud-free elections, the coveted marginal vote is often just swallowed up by the marginal frauds.
Why is it then that the one choice — the election — gets all this attention, even months in advance, and the other choice — my dinner on November 4 — does not? I should be arguing with myself about vegetables, no?

I heard Reverend Wright prefers summer squash… so you might want to stay away from that one.
You do have a blog. You can type while you eat, and influence the masses over mess.
