The Kids Are All Right

Damn! I have to get in on this:

A recent poll of New York University students found that two-thirds of them would trade their right to vote in the next election for a year’s tuition. And 20 percent said they’d give up their right to vote for the next president in exchange for a new iPod. Half said they’d sell their right to vote — forever — for $1 million.

That sounds about right. I think giving up my right to vote is easily worth an iPod. Hell, I'd probably sit out an election for an iPod nano. I'm not so sure I'd give up my right to vote forever though, because some Republican operative might try to re-animate Hitler's cyrogenically frozen head. Being able to excercise my franchise (it's very big) would come in handy during that election, and hey, even if Hitler did win, Zombie Jimmy Carter would kick Hitler's ass with his awesome powers of malaise and stagflation.
