sadly, I bet if you polled voters my guess is something like 70%+ would say it is too much effort to read something that long. Yet these same people are selecting the future leaders of our country.

you got me to read it :D I like to think I'm not the average american idiot though
what disturbs me the most is that the majority of people I know who have decided who they are voting for can't even tell me the position their candidate holds on several key issues when asked.
and honestly I'm disgusted by how many people I've heard say they won't vote for Obama because he is a muslim terrorist. In this day in age with google around there is no excuse for that kind of ignorance.

Well, if we are to believe the surveys of our national average reading skills, most people would not have the ability to read it with much comprehension, let alone the will to do so; the use of such horribly elitist and multisyllabic words like "stolidity" and "moratorium" will ensure that.
A literary habit puts you out of touch with Joe Six Pack. One 2007 survey said that a fourth of American adults had read no books at all in the last year. Of course, one might hope that those millions of bibliophobes are instead spending their leisure time with newspapers and political magazines, but I have to say I'm skeptical.

There is absolutely no point in caring for politics. The chance that your single, informed vote will make a difference is practically zero.

And millions of uninformed votes gives us 2 terms of one of the worst presidents this country has ever known.
It's not just the vote that matters. It's the ideas.

"Ideas?" What are those? :conf:
