Ten Reasons Why You GOTTA VOTE!

Last edited Fri Aug 10, 2012, 07:52 AM - Edit history (1)

A recent article at suntimes.com entitled Voting Rights Act anniversary celebrated, yet threats rising, states - "Monday was a sobering anniversary for those of us who care deeply about the health of our democracy. When President Lyndon Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law on August 6, 1965, and when President George W. Bush renewed it in 2006, they were trying to prevent barriers to voting. It is tragic that efforts to bar millions of Americans from casting ballots have instead accelerated in recent years."

article titles? Have writers really lost that much creativity and become that lazy that they have to prepend every other article title with this dreck?

It was novel the first hundred or so times - but after the 1 gazzilion mark I started to get quite bored with it all. At this point, my policy is to not read ANYTHING that starts with this kind of nonsense. I suddenly find myself with lots of free time and hardly anything to read.
