   No, of course not.  If people vote to enslave anyone named Amy, that   
   doesn't make it something that is "okay," does it?   
      
   People should not vote to make their government do things not   
   authorized by its charter, for example.   
      
   Not that I am saying they *can't* -- I am saying they *shouldn't*.   
      
   Personally, I am all for people staying home on election day.  The   
   people who say "the important thing is that you get out and vote" are   
   either lying or brain damaged.  What's important is that people vote   
   based on reason and purpose, not that they merely get in there and   
   pick someone.   
      
   I said what my purpose is in voting, and I think everyone else should   
   do the same thing.
