“If you are part of a society that votes, then do so. There may be no candidates and no measures you want to vote for … but there are certain to be ones you want to vote against. In case of doubt, vote against. By this rule you will rarely go wrong.
If this is too blind for your taste, consult some well-meaning fool (there is always one around) and ask his advice. Then vote the other way. This enables you to be a good citizen (if such is your wish) without spending the enormous amount of time that truly intelligent exercise of the franchise requires."

This gag was stolen from a SNL sketch, with the late great Phil Hartman as Frankenstein, Jon Lovitz as Tonto and I forget who was Tarzan.

And some people do a great job and get fired because someone, somewhere, will do it for a dime less.
