Wow... you have been royally screwed over. I can understand your stance on this and everything... although your guy Coleman doesn't sound that bad. Even if he hasn't been doing a ton, beautifying the city makes it nicer, and it creates jobs for the people who are doing the actual work of beautifying it, so that's something.

But, to my way of thinking, that's exactly why I would vote. Make sure that the worse of the choices doesn't get into office, and then keep doing that as the choices inherantly get better. But that is one of the nice things about our system of government- if you don't want to vote, you don't have to, and it's all totally cool. If you don't want to vote, then don't. I personally believe in it, but I won't force anyone else to.
