If people don't care enough to vote, they don't care enough to have a say.
Can you clarify this for me? Are you saying that by your absence you should have no impact on the decision?

I don't think I'd say it like that. I'm saying, if you want to have an impact on the decision, participate.

So if no one voted but three people and two voted yes, it should go? I think a quorum is an important factor in voting. I also see where the people who think no preference shouldn't be an option are coming from.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Ha!
But seriously. I don't think I've ever voted no preference. I don't get *not actually wanting something to pass* but voting for it anyway. I would posit this is why almost everything that goes to a vote passes.

hah! that was Liese, actually. I see the word 'quorum' and my vision blurs and I can't see well enough to type any kind of opinion about it.
