"Despite the facts that the machines are rigged, the counts are rigged, the electoral college is rigged, that 
Washington itself is rigged,
and that our energy could be far better spent on direct action, far be it from my desire to raise hackles with Facebook 
for encouraging young people to vote.
If you want to delude yourself into thinking you have a say in the outcome of the 2008 Presidential race, be my guest."
