real moto stuff. it always strikes me as funny that a country that can't even muster 50% of it's pop to vote is always liberating countries that end up getting out 80-90+% under the most horrible circumstances!

You mean to say that we're really good at getting other nations to do as we say and not as we do?

If our voting population is truly representative of the entire population, it wouldn't be a problem but I don't think anyone has a done a study to find out the true make up/voting habits of the country. Unfortunately, the data would be obsolete in a just a few years when major elections spring up and the parties outline their platforms. The swing voters would be the most important but hardest to gauge.
