Voted

The worst thing about voting on an absentee ballot is not getting that keen sticker that says "I Voted" on it. I like those stickers. Sure, I just stick them to things that aren't actually me, but it nice. It's like going to the doctor and getting a balloon (or, if they're out of balloons, a blown-up glove) or going to the dentist and getting a cheap little toy. You get a reward for doing something that you should want to do. Voting absentee, you don't get that reward, you just get the time to research the ballot measure and the candidates as you vote, which is a luxury you don't get in the little booth thing.

I hope the rest of you, who are livin' in America, are gonna vote in fifteen days. If you get out there, you'll get a sticker.
