Vote or Die. Or Not.
There is a "get out and vote" campaign going on called "Vote Or Die". Celebrities are making appearances wearing these ominous T-Shirts. My first reaction is, "Spare me the drama". I mean, come on. I'm not going to keel over if I don't make it to the polls on Tuesday. (unless Nader wins somehow.) I just think the campaign is in poor taste. Real people are really dying right now because of politics. My decision whether or not to get off the couch to vote is NOTHING like a soldier's decision to climb out of a foxhole.
MTV's "Rock the Vote" campaign is far more appropriate.
