Well said about voting and impatcs, but its a illusion game that the winner doesnt care much after winning instead i feel privatisation works well with little government regulation instead of government organisation. I am hate of policitics and being exercising my vote too.

I agree that it is very important to exercise one's democratic right. I don't have any say in this current election in the US but I know someone who does and I have encouraged her to vote. However, she hasn't done so this time. Her reason is one that I find difficult to argue with. It is that where she lives is a strongly Democratic State and there is no doubt that Obama will win that State. Since the election depends on the collective decision of each State, not on the final total count of votes, there is, she says, little point in voting. If she lived in one of the marginal States, she says, she would certainly vote. It seems to me that, on the whole, the system as it stands may not represent the true collective feelings of the American people.
