From the time they are born, most people are told that it's their duty to vote. Instead of voting this Nov. 5, take the time you would have wasted voting and enjoy yourself.

The less obvious reason for not voting is that voting is almost always in and of itself an immoral act.

Talk about a 52 pickup for the Democrats. It wasn't too long ago, in the aftermath of Barack Obama's historic 2008 victory, that the word "mandate" became inculcated into our national psyche. We were told that America had sent a message to the Republicans: conservatism was out and liberalism was in.

12:14 a.m. -- Obama, in his acceptance speech, cast himself as a uniting president-elect.

" We love this country too much to let the next four years look like the last eight," he has said. The candidates are offering two distinct directions for the future of our economy and our country. Senator Obama's plan is the more progressive and forward looking -- albeit ambitious -- one. But since when have hope and ambition become a no-no in America?
