Good analogy! I have never missed a vote in my life except the first year I was old enough to vote they cancelled city elections in the city where I lived so I missed that election.

I used to get corralled by people at parties and so on who would rant about politics on and on. When I'd ask who they voted for, they would invariable rant that they had never voted, that it was a waste of time, all politicians are crooked and so on. I would tell them they had no right to complain.
