A couple with 14 week old twin boys on their first airplane ride were quite aware of the torment it would cause other travelers. As a pre-emptive measure when flying cross-country from San Francisco, they handed out plastic bags of candy to fellow passengers to placate them in anticipation of the infants crying, screaming or causing other annoyances.(via)
For the first time in my life, I am seriously considering staying home on election day. I am opting-out of the political process. I have come to believe “freedom” to choose who runs our country is an illusion and that American society has no real choice in who becomes President. These two candidates we have today were bought and paid for long ago.
The electoral college is bullshit. The current system of “winner takes all” in each state warps presidential elections. Through polling, candidates and media divide the country into red and blue states, and those categorized as “swing” acquire the attention. A Washington Post analysis shows the 2012 election will be decided by roughly 916,643 “undecided” voters in six swing states.
Consider me “decided.” I have decided to sit at home, pour some Grey Goose over ice, and exercise my right NOT to vote. Am I wrong?

Mitt Romney will be flying the friendly skies in an MD-83 that was used to transport Bono and his band between concert gigs during the U2 360° Tour from 2009 through 2011 in support of their 2009 album “No Line on the Horizon.”
