We had a city vote on public subsidy for an unneeded hospital.
It was voted down by a handful of voters. Dividing the cost
by number who voted it down, I figured my vote
was worth 2 million dollars.

Not voting has just as much impact as voting.
The difference is whether you are in control or not.

Voting empowers people.

I dissent. Voting says: "I believe in and support the System and will
endure whomever I am told won until I am once again allowed to place
my faith in voting." IMO G.W. Bush is a mass murderer, and I am far
from alone in that view, but neither of the candidates has the balls
to call him out and hold his feet to the fire about his lies and his
lies to cover the lies tocover the lies etc. Dream on American
dreamer...

But you're right: Not voting IS a vote for "None of the above."
