voting

I really enjoy voting and feel it is one part of the many things i can do to improve my neighborhood, community, and country.

The one thing about voting that bothers me is that it is an absolute answer to a very complicated question. Let's take the sound transit proposition. there are pages and pages of info and stats explaining this proposition. Don't get me wrong i like the info that is presented... but my grip is that i can't say i like the expansion but think we should look at other ways to fund it.

It is like would asking would you marry me, be my love for the rest of my life, share in fantastic adventures, create many beautiful things, and pay for it all your self? Of course you would want to say yes... to all but the last part. And if you don't say yes, you don't get another chance.... so it is a bit of a broken system... there needs to be more dialog. Voting is a lot like having the power to veto a bill, but it is the last step... not the only.

That being said i a going to get off my ass and start becoming more involved.
