When I turned 18, not only did I gain the power to buy cigarettes and lottery tickets, I also gained the privilege to vote. Now, this isn't exactly a right I'm excited to exercise. It doesn't look like there's exactly an exceptional candidate, but when November rolls around I know I'll have to make a decision. Until then, however, I get to think of all of the things I'd rather spend my time doing.
