ha! well, i was trying to say that your vote was worth about as much as a gmail account. when i first was able to vote i was so excited about it and The Possibilities of Democracy and all that, but then i saw absentee ballots tossed out with such speed last year, not to mention the blunt edge of the electoral college and the whole “every vote actually DOESN’T count equally” concept it drove home, and oh, it’s all so bleak and sad. i’m voting, don’t misunderstand me. but it’s less exciting than it was. and having those extra gmail accounts is, to a much lesser degree of course, the same. i mean, i’m very happy to have MY gmail account thank you thank you eeksy, but almost everybody i know now has more gmail accounts than they know what to do with. so in a way they’re “worthless”. see the parallel? yes, yes, of course you do.

Have fun.

P.S.
The primary election was two days ago, so you probably don’t need to bother sending in the ballot.

Actually, the “Democrats Abroad” are quite active here, hitting up on people at showings of Fahrenheit 9/11 to register to vote, etc.

(In my state, Kerry leads by 14% – I haven’t seen a presidential campaign ad yet! Of course, you probably haven’t either.)
