10/3 Hypothetical moral question: if you know someone who has the opposite political stance as you but know that the person isn't sure whether he/she wants to vote, would you: 1) encourage that person to vote because it's in the American spirit to vote? 2) don't bother that person to vote because he/she will nullify your vote. Please explain your answers. \_ I think everyone should vote who's paying attention. There's something to be said for the wisdom of democaracy, but I think something to be said for the wisdom of democracy, but I think that breaks down if the voter isn't paying attention. \- 1. i dont think this is a moral question typically 2. not voting is a form of voting. longer answer: if you are persuaded the way you are voting is "moral" and the other party is not ... like say they believe in torturing people ... the moral act is to try to persuade them to do the "right thing". now in some cases it's reasonable to agree to disagree or the other party may reasonably have different interest from you. i think discussing issues matters more than voting. but to answer your question directly, #2. --non-voter. \_ Cast an additional vote on their behalf for your candidate. -rdaley \_ It doesn't matter. -DIEBOLD |
