Socrates says : Do you wish to be an unhappy man, or a happy pig?

...and if the pig, or the fool, are of a different opinion, it is because they only know their own side of the question. The other party to the comparison knows both sides.

We just need the 61% who are struggling to do the right thing when casting their ballots.

For those who are still wavering, just look at what happened in the Middle East now.

Its better to do it early and peacefully rather than wait for people to burn themselves out of desperation.
