  • The most hilarious thing to do would be to abstain.
    But the socially responsible thing to do is vote Aye for my right to abstain anywhere I want.

    Ne Crustumini quidem atque Antemnates pro ardore iraque Caeninensium satis se impigre movent; ita per se ipsum nomen Caeninum in agrum Romanum impetum facit. Sed effuse vastantibus fit obvius cum exercitu Romulus levique certamine docet vanam sine viribus iram esse.

  • I vote nay, solely because I believe the original law still has standing, even if it’s too late to debate that. :P
