Sure, but they were far from being a place I'd like to revisit, especially not on election day. The Internet is the community commons of today just as much as a library or city building was 30-40 years ago.

Are you really saying that high school was so bad you'd rather not vote than go back there for an hour or 3?

Absolutely. Try growing up as a geek in a semi-suburbanized farming community (though things have changed since then).

If you want to play this game: try growing up as a liberal, atheist geek from out of town in a rural bible-belt town of ~7,000. Then, try becoming an adult and getting over it so that you can perform your civic duty.

High school, for me, is 3+ hours away. And yes, I'd rather never revisit that place again.
