There are lots of bad people in this world. There are just as many good people. We just hear more about the bad people. The social responsible reason for that is muckraking. But with all the stuff you hear about bad people, it makes you start to wonder if there are that many good people left. How about using a "feel-good" story to show how to improve one's community? Maybe just show how "easy" it is. Anyone can do it. You don't have to be hippie Harry or protest Pete.

When I first saw the Vote or Die slogan, it was in a comic strip so I didn't believe it was real at first. Very different from something you might hear elsewhere: "Vote and Die!"

BTW. Not voting is EXACTLY what that establishment you despise so much wants you to do. You don't want to help them, do you? By not voting, you are keeping them in power.

I have yet another idea for a television show that will never air. Random acts of kindness. Depicting people volunteering and stuff and how you can participate as well or something.

I guess this is the place where people put /end rant or some such nonsense. As the rant won't stop for a long time, I guess that doesn't fit there.

Reuben, are you voting in a couple weeks? Are you registered in Philly or NJ?

As long as SETPA isn't on strike then, and I find out where to vote. Yes, I will - in Philly.
