In third world countries, people walk miles and miles through soggy soggy marshes to vote. They carry cows on their shoulders. Or something. I donapos;t know. I�seem to remember something about that� from a very early grade, although that may have been the�Laura Secord story, which takes up space in my head while Iapos;m trying to remember viral classification.

Here in Montreal, Marnie vaguely considers walking across the street to the SSMU building, then is faced with the obvious question of "who do I�vote for?" Then, she goes back to linguistics.

I donapos;t really support any party. Iapos;d say Iapos;m probably a liberal, but I canapos;t in good concience vote for Stephane Dion. I could vote anti-conservative, but that would involve voting Bloc, which I canapos;t really do either. I could vote green, but if I vote green, then the conservatives might win. Or, I could declare my complete apathy and disdain for the candidates by not voting at all.

Then, I have to listen to the little voice in my head that says "Not voting isnapos;t a political declaration. Not voting is what at least half the population does. Probably more in your demographic."

I suppose I could vote liberal, because my friend grad student A told me to. Or I could vote NDP, because my friend Laurence told me to. But honestly, I never thought of myself as the kind of person who would just go and vote for someone because someone told me to. I thought I would care enough to form my own opinions, and I do. I watched the French debate and the first half of the English debate. I follow the campaigns. And I seriously donapos;t think that any of the candidates are worthy of my vote.� Itapos;s the ultimate catch 22. Anyone who wants to be a politician is crazy and therefore unsuitable for the job. If youapos;re not crazy, you donapos;t want the job, and this is what makes you fit for the job.

You want my prediction? Weapos;re looking at a minority conservative government. We could have just bypassed this entire election thing and saved a lot of taxpayers money. But as long as no one party has any real power, weapos;re fine. The terminally dense can continue to amuse themselves by arguing about random laws and theories, and no oneapos;s going to win. No significant laws are going to be passed. Nothing is going to change.

I doubt Iapos;m going to vote. Itapos;s not that I donapos;t know who do vote for, itapos;s that I�want no part in what these idiots are doing to my country. When I do vote, I want it to be for something I can believe in, not against something I donapos;t believe in or because I�donapos;t have any choice in the matter. If I�believed in a party, I would carry a cow through a miles and miles of soggy soggy swamp to go and vote. As it is, I donapos;t want any of these people to win. Iapos;d support a movement if there was one I�believed in. As it is, Iapos;m going to go and get a coffee and finish my linguistics notes.
