I value your article on learning how to say now. I am an American woman and I would never, never ever, say outloud that I don’t vote. I value my right to vote and I excercise it. I liked your article but I was stunned enough by your comment that you don’t vote as some sort of claim to something or other and as they say in L. A. “It took me right out of your story”. Is that a thing? To be proud of not voting?
