[lbo-talk] anti-Kinky (Friedman, not sex)

[andie nachgeborenen]

Actually, this is a fundamental puzzle in political
science. If the costs of voting are more than trivial
(and they ofen are -- campaigning in Ohio in 2004 I
saw people stand for hours waiting to vote) and the
likihood that voting will have any effect is
negligible, which is certainly true, marginally
speaking, only the last vote that tips the balance
actually counts, why do presumptively rational people
bother?
