Were those Who didn't Vote More Responsible than I?

 I voted yesterday. Those who didn't vote, however, can perhaps pride themselves for being more responsible citizens than I, in a way.
  I didn't study before I voted. One vote went to someone I know just a little bit. Another went to someone who I overheard saying he is running. And, went to someone I voted for at random, not knowing a thing about any of the candidates.
   Such voting can be said to be counter productive. While other voters entered the voting booth educated and prepared to make a meaningful vote, I entered with nothing (or slight little) to offer. If most voters were such as I -- selecting candidates at random -- it would reduce the election to a toss of a coin, so to speak. We would be electing by virtue of chance, not reason.
