“People get very upset about this voting thing. I’m accused of being unpatriotic, for instance. Or my little 10 year old told me, ‘more people will run stop signs if we don’t have a President.’ She associates a President with a magical parent. Perhaps projecting her own sense that I don’t give her enough boundaries for her to figure out where the edge of childhood ends and adulthood begins. I let her run a Stop sign when I don’t set a bedtime, or turn her TV off. She wants a President who will tell her when to ‘STOP!’ So here are some reasons for not voting. I’m not asking anyone to agree with me. Many people like to vote. Do things that you like to do.”
