Yeah I Know

So this comes out today talking about a voter initiative so one lucky voter wins a cool mil. With better odds than powerball, why not? Initially I was very much in favor and working on getting my absentee ballot from New York. But now after 2 minutes of thought it does seem kind of unseemly "bribing" voters to vote. Ideally voting should be an experience you undertake with the idea that you might make some lasting influence on your environment. Whatever. You decide. And I use "you" liberally.
