Stupid Letter of the Day
This one comes from The Boston Globe about voter apathy:
SCOT LEHIGH writes about an issue that has bothered me for months: the undecided voter ("Too picky to vote," op ed, Oct. 15). Lehigh zeros in on the fact that in many, if not most, cases, "undecided" really means uninformed, uncaring, and quite possibly un-American.
Seldom have the differences between two candidates for president been more clear. To suggest otherwise, as in the tiresome rhetoric of Naderites, is ludicrous.
Moreover, any voter who plans to avoid the polls on Election Day because neither candidate is "any good" is wallowing in ignorance and a swollen sense of self-importance. Great or not, those are the choices this time around: Pick one and jump in.

That's the American way. Pick one and jump in. Don't wait to make your judgment as late as possible soas to allow yourself the most time to gather information about candidates. No, no, you should pick a side and then whine in a partisan fashion for months leading up to the election, and probably for months afterwards.
Dumb New Englanders.
