I might go smoke in front of a cop just because I can. One of the first states to legalize Marijuana. One of the first states to make online gambling illegal. Makes sense.

the most extreme example i know of is Austrailia, where if you do not vote you are fined $95....voter turn out there is well over 96%
if indeed voting was required in the US, you would see a country with far better medical and old age benefits, higher taxes and far less defense spending
this country has a few things to prevent the vicissitudes of current popular politics from quickly changing our law....things like the electoral college, staggered senate elections, lifetime terms for supreme court justices, pre-election day registration for voting and the bill of rights...some of these things are good...others not so imho
