And now to government not having the right to force you, why does it even matter, what's 15 minutes?

Many that vote here are not informed. They just do not care. As I said before the more ignorant voters the worse it is. If they are going to vote by choice I would say they have a better chance of being informed then someone that is just voting because they are made to. Giving them to choice to vote or not makes it more representative. That way the people that care to vote do. Getting rid of the don't care vote. Having a random don't care vote forced in it just makes it more random. It is in principal. There is no need to force this on people. I see big problems that occur from forcing people. In most circumstances I am against forcing people to do things against there will.
