Rand said that not to vote is itself a vote. You are voting for "None of the above."

SOMETIMES???

Think about who you're talking about, Jeff!

I wrote, "Rand said that not to vote is itself a vote. You are voting for 'None of the above.'"

Jeffery Small replied, "Sometimes you over-think things! :-)"

Huh? All I did was cite Rand on voter abstention. I thought people would be interested in her opinion on this issue. How is that over-thinking things?

Just so others don't think that another food fight is starting, here is an email that previously I sent to Bill. I think it is probably true that he didn't read that message before responding here. So, (I hope) no hard feeling!

Bill:

In the quote section I wrote: "Sometimes you over-think things! :-)"

I just wanted to make sure that you knew that this was simply a good-natured jab at your taking the quote more seriously than I originally intended. Of course your observation about Rand is correct and one with which I completely agree. I do appreciate your input and just wanted to make sure that you didn't think I was somehow attacking or undercutting you here. On these forums, it's much too easy to have one's intentions misunderstood - despite adding smilies! :-)

For lack of a better place, and because it seems appropriate to the quote above, I'll post this here.
