You can do it with love in your heart. You can do it with the red mist of fury before your eyes. You can do it in sorrow; you can do it in anger. You can do it to impress a guy. You can do it to spite your parents. You can do it to teach your kids a lesson. You’re supposed to do it in secret; lots of people brag about it afterwards. You can do it with a smile. You can do it with a headache. You can do it with a vague feeling of dread. Lots of people don’t do it at all, and they’ve all got their reasons, and their reasons are all bullshit.
You can do it any damn whichway you want, but if you can do it, for God’s sake, do it. For all our sakes.
Do it. Vote.
