*I signed the petition. I don't think it'll do much good but it's easy to
do and even a disapproving look is better than nothing. As to the value of
voting, that depends on who you vote for; voting for a third-party
candidate is not as bad as voting for Mr. I Stopped Eight Wars Plus, but
it's not better than not voting at all.  If it wasn't for the Libertarian
Party we wouldn't now have a ferociously anti-libertarian Mad King.*
