20. That is your choice, but it is unrealistic to expect others to make the same choice.
Especially in this economic climate.

The outrage over this defies all logic. Find time to vote after work if it's going to make you late. If the polls close early, one should have known this beforehand and taken some personal time to make sure there are no problems.

Ugh.

23. Well it's the law... for the first 5 hours... but good for you!
You are a great American.

I thought the same and if I still had my business.

My business died 2 years ago due to lack of customers and I will probably restart in a couple years if Obama's plans work well, and I am confident it will.

I would probably have told my (American) employees to go vote and not show up until they have a sticker to prove they did.
