but I still won't be voting - especially if I care deeply about an issue.        Wink

But by "not voting" you'll still be voting. Look what happened in your rural community - your passive action was the most impactive of everone's. No escape  Wink

(I feel a quantum analogy involving cats coming on  Shocked )

I understand that view but I don't share it. Opting out of a process is not the same as participating in it, even if opting out affects the outcome of the process.

The choice before me was analogous to "would I prefer to die in a fire or have pins stuck in my eyes?" My answer was analogous to Hofstadter's "Mu", which "unasks the question". Schrodinger didn't have a "mu" option.       

DASH decisions do not yet have that false-dichotomy feel and probably never will, but my relationship to DASH is one of consumer/user. If I continue to like it, I will accumulate more. If it goes off in some direction that distresses me, then I will use it less. No biggie, and I am emotionally free from pushing it to go this way or that. To continue with analogies - I really hope that Ferrari doesn't change its shade of red next year in case I find a winning lottery ticket on the ground, but I don't write to the factory to tell them that I really like their red but I'll buy a yellow one if they discontinue the red.

I hope my position doesn't come across as prescriptive. It's fine by me if people vote for or against whatever. I realize my worldview is not widely held, but I wouldn't want anyone to assume it is based on apathy.          Wink
