"To vote or not to vote..."


To vote or not to vote, it is the problem. In my case, I'm enlisted in the vote center since I was eighteen years old. I think that the vote is an act of democracy very important, because is a part of this government system that help us to choose the representatives.  
The woman vote, is a recently event, before the woman in the world weren’t considered in the elections, less in the nominations, at that time, the woman have her stay in the home, don’t in the job or the elections. In USA, a lot of women were organized for them rights, and many lost their lives by to get the right to vote. The vote for women was a fight for the right to democracy that I can’t to devaluate.  
In this time all is very different, now in this country the vote is voluntary, if you don't like vote, you don't go to vote.  I think that is very good, because no one can force anyone to vote, the vote is free, take it or leave it, but is your decision.
On the other hand, I believe that democracy in this country, is far removed from the concept of “democracy”, that adopted by the Greeks: “government done for the people”.  In this country that is a cruel lie, because we elect representatives, but we not choose the laws.  The representative democracy is beautiful until candidates are elected, after, all is money and power.
I'm going to vote tomorrow ... this is the only instance of democracy we have left.
