And, of course, the day wouldn't be complete without me remonstrating you to go out and vote. So go do it.
Of course, maybe you're a saint, like me, and you would've voted without my stern order. So go read about why voting isn't enough for a strong civil society, or about problems that plague public participation efforts (such as, I don't know, CWLP's community energy meetings?), even when they strive to be reflective of the community at large.
