Though I'm sure most of you have seen these videos before, since I am experiencing some Election Day spirit I though I would link everybody up to a very smart plea from Leonardo DiCaprio's Appian Way urging all young people to vote. Also just yesterday I noticed this sequel, and even a musical addition from some people I don't know. As much as we, or at least I, may think that people really should not need any more prodding to get to the polling booths, this election is kind of a big deal. And 500 odd votes did determine the 2000 election, and ultimately 8 years of Bush in office. So if it takes a gimmicky video with pretty famous people in it to remind us of why we should actually stand in line this Tuesday (or vote early, by mail, etc). Therefore, no matter how much I hate politics, I will be voting Tuesday (for who? ask me after I vote) if only to enable me to complain about whoever turns out to be the winner for the next four years. Though hopefully he cannot be any worse than Bush, much less this would be president.
