Voting

This morning I practiced my civic duty by voting. And after I voted a lady handed me a sticker that said "I Voted" and told me "Now you can feel superior to everyone who hasn't voted." I never thought of voting as something that made me special, but since I didn't have any other reasons to feel superior I thought, "why not?" But then I thought, what about voting makes someone superior? Especially, if they voted for a sexist egg-head actor who doesn't realize that life isn't an action movie. So, then I dropped my superior stance and went back to feeling like myself. Just for today, voting doesn't make me superior.
