I made one error, which I have corrected: "more and more people, see, they're getting their news from late-night TV" had to be changed to: "more and more people say they're getting their news from late-night TV" There are probably a few other minor errors in there, but on the whole it's pretty accurate, I think. BLaws - Whoops! You're right. It's been fixed. What would I do without you guys to keep me honest? :-) -CW Michale -

My husband watched the show repeated the highpoints of this monologue to me. He did hit the highpoints, but it was great to read it all. My parents taught me (by example as well as words) that voting was a sacred duty; I taught my children the same. I agree with Stan that the schools should do their part, too.

WoW! Kudos to you for that.... I agree completely with the sentiment... Voting is a duty... It should be exercised by each and every American.. Lanny Davis said it very well yesterday... http://foxforum.blogs.foxnews.com/2008/09/08/ldavis_0908/ I realize it's a FOX NEWS web page. But don't worry, Dems. There has NEVER been an instance where a Democrat DIED from reading Fox News..... AS FAR AS I KNOW.... :D But seriously, the point is, we have REALLY good candidates this year.. Regardless of your leanings, there are VERY good and valid reasons to vote for either candidate.. Any American who is not properly motivated to vote in THIS election must simply be brain dead. Michale..... You transcribed this yerself, CW???

Civic responsibility is no longer emphasized nor taught in most schools and the home. Voting should be as big a deal as getting your driver's license or having your first "legal" beer. ...Stan I am not surprised that it is so difficult to get the 18-25 year olds to vote.
