Your Effort is More Important than Who You Vote For

Something that puzzles me is the emphasis on who you vote for.  Sure, it's an important decision and should be given due diligence if possible, but is it really more important than the labor your put into your job and your family day in and day out?  You really think pulling a lever once every two years or so can substitute for a requirement like that?  Maybe if your labor is light, or meaningless, then you might have that opinion, but I can't imagine any consistent amount of labor possessing that quality for that long of a span.

Vote for whoever you feel called to vote for, but realize that voting is just one part of your life, and MANY other votes are considered besides yours.  Your vote is your decision, and people have fought and died for you to have the right to decide it.  But don't ever think it can substitute for the other efforts you need to put into your life to be a good and worthwhile citizen.
