Americans: Don't Vote

I know I'm not American. I know that America is not my country. I know that, in fact, America had quite a big argument with my country a while back and we split up and did our own things for a while (but we're friends now, so that's okay). I know I have no right to tell the people who read this and who are of an American persuasion anything about what to do or not to do in the next few days, particularly when what I'm talking about is something that, really, has nothing to do with me.

Except that it does have something to do with me. It has something to do with all of us. Every last one of us on this tiny little planet, sooner or later, is affected by what America does or does not do. Every. Single. One. It's just a matter of time. This shit matters.

And I know that the people reading this to whom this actually applies are smart enough for it not to apply anyway. I get that. But I'm saying it anyway.

So seriously, guys, I'm just asking you: Don't vote. 'Kay?

About

Graham Binns is a writer, photographer, musician and software developer from Lancaster, England, with far too much hair, a penchant for odd t-shirts and a magnificent hat. He has been making things up for as long as he can remember and has been making code work for long enough to make a living from it.

He has written one novel, which is in the process of composting, and is working remembering how to write before embarking on a second. In the meantime, he photographs things, since it's easier not to have to make the world up in his head all of the time.
