If you don't vote, you don't matter.
At least as far as the politicians are concerned. Case in point: If people 18-20 voted like people over 65 do, not only would the drinking age be 18 but the booze would be paid for by someone else.
You might also ask yourself why people over 65 -- who have serious time-on-planet and have survived it -- nearly all vote. Odds are they didn't at age 20. What have they learned, that you, dear non-voter, haven't grasped yet?
Note: If you intend to vote for Kerry, please disregard this message.
I applaud and yearn for voter apathy -- it makes my vote that much more potent. Just sit back, organ banks, and I and my ilk will run the country for you.
