Letter: Thanks For Nothing

To the 78 percent of people who didn’t vote, thanks for nothing. Next time you are in a conversation about anything concerning government, make sure you start your remarks with “I didn’t vote,” so we’ll know to disregard whatever you say. Don’t miss it in November. To all the people who railed against McEuen and especially those who tried to use it as a means to take over a city; when you take your children and grandchildren there (and you will), and you see the delight on their faces, I want you to look them right in the eye and say, “You know, if I had it my way none of this would be here”/Dave Walker, Coeur d'Alene, letter to the editor, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.

Question: Why don't more people vote?
