Only communists don’t vote!
In a funny twist of conversations over the weekend – while discussing Micheal Moore’s latest movie “Slacker Uprising” (and our local government elections) – I realised that it was only in communist countries, or dictatorships where people don’t always have the right to vote (I do realise that this is a slight generalisation, but heh – sue me).
In essence… if you don’t vote you’re a communist! How’s that for a poster?
Personally, I cherish my right to vote and can’t understand why people kick up a fuss that they have to vote (it takes a few minutes of one day every few years – get over it folks – and get out there to vote!).
In Soviet Union, the candidates vote in you.

A bit hotter these days.
I’m trying to put more about São Paulo in my blog.
Watch a new movie called “Blindness”, and you’ll find out at least one pic from the blog there.
