I've given my reasoning. I feel it's your civic duty to vote, not just something you'll do if it's convenient enough. You're free to disagree with the point if you wish, I just think if you can go vote then do so and save the mail in process for those that need it.
To me there's some merit in finding something you're willing to sacrifice for to be a little more precious. I feel an American vote is precious.
There's also something to be said about the sense of Patriotism you feel seeing your fellow man stand inline to make his/her voice heard.
Sorry, but I still don't see any "reasoning" at all. You have given zero reasons why people should be forced to sacrifice to exercise their rights. Maybe I could understand a little better if you gave me some more examples.
How much should people be forced to sacrifice before being allowed to exercise their freedom of speech? Just speaking is too easy, right? So maybe make everyone write down what they want to say and publish it instead of just allowing them to speak it out loud.
Would your heart swell with Patriotism if every person who wanted to own a gun was required to stand in line for hours?
The only reason you like the long lines is because you are a Republican and you know that the harder it is to vote the more it helps your side. No one else in their right mind thinks it is great to make people suffer for no reason just to exercise their rights.
