I signed it. I also understand your perspective, though, and tend to share it. This time I just viewed it as something that probably won't accomplish anything ("snowball's chance in hell"), but if it did, would be good for Ross. It doesn't seem qualitatively the same as voting to force my whims on others via a politician. I guess it is begging, though. Hmmm.

I don't have any more respect for "the system" than I did before (zero). Just figured, "why the hell not." I could be out of line with my own principles here, too, though. Not really sure.

Good post.
