Voting As Civil Sacrament and the Case Against McCain

...So let me begin by objecting to voting considered as a civil sacrament, piously enacted in the temple of democracy. To voting as a process of simply making a decision, I have no objection at all. When voting is simply decision-making, the people are in control of their government. When voting is a sacrament, the priests are in control of the worshippers. Let me say that again -- when voting is a sacrament, the priests are in control of the Temple, the Temple precincts, and the roster of acceptable names from which we have the privilege of selecting the next high priest.

I intend to vote this fall, but I don't want to participate in the unstated religio-political assumptions of the whole process. If I were to do that it would relinquish far more authority than I am exercising. I would not be pushing; I would be pulled. Now I do intend to vote as a statement of what I think we ought to do (decision-making). But I refuse to participate in this religious theater, I refuse to ascend up to the altar.
