Nah.. I like it here... born here... Texas is hot, though... 
I used to participate when I thought it made a difference. It doesn't; so I won't participate. What's that saying? If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal.
As Etienne de la Boetie states in The Politics of Obedience: The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude: "Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break in pieces." I have began pulling my support from the tyrant.

Christianity is not for people who think religion is a pleasant distraction, a nice alternative, or a positive influence. Messy spirituality is a good term for the place where desperation meets Jesus. More often than not, in Jesus’ day, desperate people who tried to get to Jesus were surrounded by religious people who either ignored or rejected those who were seeking to have their hunger for God filled. Sadly, not much has changed over the years. - Mike Yaconelli
