Happy Loving Day and get out and vote

WOW just spotted this on Flickr Blog, unbelievable and sad that Mildred passed away only last month. Do read about this brave couple and enjoy the rest of Loving Day.

Their inspirational story just shows you that there are some liberties we take completely for granted, such as voting. If you haven't voted in the Lisbon Reform Treaty referendum already, get your arse in gear and do so before 10pm. Your vote is one of the most important things you possess and really should not be taken for granted. Can you really complain if you haven't exercised your right to vote?

Been a while since I've heard your rabble rousing speeches, convincing rhetoric and illuminating persuasiveness - I'll vote however you want me to!

In all seriousness, I have no vote, neither eligible in the US or Ireland, it is a vulnerable feeling.
