kudos:1 | But on the negative side [RANT]
73% of the people either said they did not care or that what ever side they would vote on would fail, so why go vote.
That means that only 17% of the people voted for it and 10% against it. I do not care which side you are on, the telco/cable side or the town side, this just points up one of the biggest problems with democracy. If Joe six-pack is content to sit in front of the telly sucking on his suds (no sexist meaning intended), then a very minor minority will decide what happens, good or bad.
Where were the other 36,000 or so people? Do they not care that the call center was threatening them if they did this or that the City maybe was doing a boondoggle or that maybe this is the best idea since (insert favorite best idea), or any number of reasons to hit the polls? It is not like like it is all that hard to vote (well, except for a few places that you can think of).
