If we put aside social pressure (e.g., what your friends and family think) and sense of duty, a rational person should be embarrassed at having wasted any time at all on voting</I><BR/><BR/>No. Your logic may hold if you're talking about monetary returns from voting (say you believe Bush would extend tax cuts while Kerry would not).
