To be bloody honest..
Everyone has a right to saying whatever they want. Saying they can't complain when they didn't vote is like saying you can't complain about a car you didn't purchase but the wife did.
Free Speech people. Anyone can voice their concerns, REGARDLESS of the situation (political or otherwise). Common sense, but that's me.
(and yes, I have an issue with people telling me I can't voice concerns when i didn't vote for whatever.)
If you had no input into why something happened, then you really can't complain about it. That's pretty straight forward. If your wife goes out to buy a car, asks your opinion which you do not give to her and she buys something you hate, you really can't say anything because she asked your opinion, your ignored her request and bought the car. She made the decision that it was something she wanted because you didn't provide any input. If she had asked your input and you said you hated it and she bought the car anyway, then you can say something about it. Same with voting on an issue. If you choose not to vote and a decision is made based on voting that you decided not to participate in then you can not complain about the outcome of the decision that was voted on which you decided to be ignorant (the act or process of ignoring.)

<sarcasm> And for all you I-hate-top-posting, this-is-a-Linux-list ... What does any of this have to do with Linux? I'm going to banish all of you from my inbox. By the way, how do I make my particular email client to that? This is a Linux list and needs to be moderated so totally unrelated stuff can't be posted. I'm going to throw a fit now. Oh, Hitler and Nazis. </sarcasm> Phil Thayer <phil.thayer@vitalsite.com> wrote:
