Anarchists' Convention Debates Voting: Anarchists' Convention Debates Whether Voting Makes You a Bad Anarchist -

A group of anarchists is taking an unusual step to make its political voice heard going to the polls.
[...]
Susan Heitker, 32, of Athens, believes that the U.S. government is neither legitimate nor democratic, but she still plans to vote.
Isn't that ironic statement akin to:

"I don't accept the legitimacy of the state! I think I'll go vote!"

After reading the article and seeing the AvP poster a friend of mine quipped:

"They can go ahead and elect Kerry to their... destruction. Or re-elect Bush to their... destruction."

Via Fulton Chain.

This seems like something that should be on The Onion, not ABC News.
