None of the above

I'm so sick and tired of the negative political TV ads infesting the screen that I can't get enthusiastic about voting for anyone. I wish there was a required addition to each race on any ballot: "None of the above." If None got over 50%, maybe it would send a message.

Ah, the echo of that wonderful very old woman who told me why she hadn't voted in twenty years (she was in her 90s): "I don't want to encourage them."

Indeed!
