Why I didn't vote this year...

It would have been nice to vote in my country's election this year. I did not abstain from voting or stay home because I did not want to make a choice. I think that's for sissies who don't want to make a difference for the future of my country. It was yet something else. I did not receive my absentee ballot in time. It was post-marked September 19. It arrived to Russia on October 9. It hit my post box on November 13, a full-week after the election! Oh well, I don't think my vote would have mattered considering the margin of difference was about 10 million...
