The Random thought thread

I have failed to vote 3 times in my life, not purposely but I just forgot. Twice I failed to vote in council elections. When I got a fine notice I just said I was working outside the area and this was sufficient. Once was a state election. I said I was unwell that day.  Just meekly paying the fine seems like punching yourself in the face to prove a point 

If you believe that compulsory voting is unjust then surely you believe surely you believe that the fine is unjust.  Unless you want to be a martyr to the cause, why play ball with the authorities?
