I'm not saying big government's perfect. I'm not saying there aren't a million ways in which it could be improved upon. I'm certainly not saying that it works all the time. But I do think it's got a better shot of getting it right than leaving it up to business interests.

But that's my way of seeing things. I don't have an issue with people who see things differently.

As for canvassing, I've never done any myself. I did polling, though. You know, asking people coming out after they've voted to tell you who they voted for so you can predict the results for that riding.

It did not make me want to do it again.
Yeah, I totally agree about a big government compared to a small government. It would probably be a very scary place if it were left up to business interests.

Did you get alot of people telling you to mind your own business when you did polling? Cause I assume that you'd get the odd person who considers voting a private matter who would tell you that.

RainbowChaser, I totally felt that way when I was finally able to vote. It's a great feeling.
