The Yellow Jacket, Vol. I guess I should start off by saying that I never voted in an election before. I probably could have voted in 1996, but I was part of that generation that didn't feel my vote would make a difference.
Some people tend to call that apathy and put that label on our generation.
Anyway, I've already voted in this year's presidential election for the very first time. I voted because a candidate wants to radically change the way things are done in this country for the benefit of the people, our land, and the democracy which founded our nation. But, in all honesty, I'm not sure if I would have voted if Ralph Nader wasn't a candidate in this election. I don't think I would be happy trying to pick the lesser of two evils, just simply to cast a vote. By voting for Nader in this election, this helps establish the third party as a viable option for the American public and break the two-party system which has been instilled in our political system for generations.
