I think you are slightly taking for granted that we have these answers to how life and the universe originated. We don't and may never. Not saying you should believe one thing or the other, but I fail to grasp how you can pick and choose which ideologies might be valid without knowing the truth.

I think it's mostly tribal recognition and encouraging likeminded people to vote. If you have a neighborhood full of Polliquin signs, maybe you don't feel so compelled to go vote Golden, and vice versa.

This is one where you have to do something. That could be some kid's face next time.
