“We think that voting actually is not just a private vote for the person who gets the vote, but a public good, and that the more people who vote, the more legitimate the elected officials are, and that they represent the actual values of the electorate.”

There’s nothing I can add to this quote. So I’ll close with this timeless piece of music, from the timeless band “Moody Blues.”
I am a native New Yorker and 22 year Navy veteran. I retired from active duty in 1996 and went on to build a successful post-Navy career in logistics, focused on the shipbuilding and ship-repair industry. I currently work for the US Coast Guard in Washington D.C., and together with my wife Weifang (Winnie) make our home in Northern Virginia. When I'm not on a boat or traveling, I spend my time writing and building websites.
