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 most obvious reason to do so is that your vote doesn't matter. Whether you choose to vote will not decide this race or have any meaningful impact. The less obvious reason for not voting is that voting is almost always in and of itself an immoral act.

12:14 a.m. -- Obama, in his acceptance speech, cast himself as a uniting president-elect. In telling the story of a 106-year-old voter, he was highlighting the endurance of the American spirit through the best of times, and the worst of times, in this country's history. At least 200 people are gathered here in the Commons watching his acceptance speech after McCain delivered a valiant speech, rallying his supporters to have faith in Obama and the American political system.
At 5:45 a.m., a line more than a block-and-a-half long snaked out of the Westhampton Baptist Church voting precinct where 2,200 voters were registered.
On November 4th, we will face a choice for our next president: two patriots running for the highest office in land because they believe that America's better days are yet to come. It is a clear and distinct choice: a senior Senator from Arizona who has served this nation heroically in uniform, but who is offering little in terms of taking this country in a new direction. John McCain himself has said that "on the transcendent issues, the most important issues of our day, I've been totally in agreement and support of President Bush." We also have a young Senator from Illinois who is offering a different kind of politics -- of hope and change. " 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?
