Why vote?

Okay, my ex-boyfriend and I are still friends, so we talk pretty often. I made a comment about the up-coming election and he blew me off (as in completely ignored me and changed the subject). So I asked him was he planning on voting and do you know what this dude told me? He said he doesn't care about the elections because they don't affect him. I tried to explain but I don't think he got it. So my quetion to you guys is how in the world do I get the point across to him that this issue is serious and could have a major impact on the rest of his life? :? :? :?

if he is going to college, he is giong to want some sort of financial ad and scholarship, well under the Bush regime, he can kiss that goodbye. I'd basically say if u want a cheaper education than vote Kerry.

if he is going to college, he is giong to want some sort of financial ad and scholarship, well under the Bush regime, he can kiss that goodbye. However, if he doesn't want to go to college then his chances of getting a job are growing smaller due to outsourcing. I'd basically say if u want a cheaper education and a job than vote Kerry.
