Observations On SuperDuper Tuesday.
Seth Godin gets kudos today for posting "Lessons From Voting." Worth reading...but I would like to add a few more:
- Voting is a lot like buying a product. If you invest a lot in the purchase, you feel really unhappy if you get a lemon. Only in purchasing, it is easier to return a lemon.
- If you don't own something, you shouldn't criticize it...you can't know the experience. The same thing goes for voting. If you don't vote, you don't get to complain non-stop for the next four years.
- Are you as uncomfotable as I am with the amount of money being spent on marketing the candidates? Is this what our founding fathers really wanted?
- Whoever first coined the term "SuperDuper Tuesday" should be exiled to someplace like Iran. Even a TV talking-head should be able to do better than that.
- Whoever dreamed up the standardized-test-like, fill-in-the-circle-with-a-Number-2-pencil-ballot should be exiled to someplace like Iran for bringing back creepy memories of school.
Happy voting.
