He was what, 15 in 2003? What's the year in-universe now? 2015? He's in his mid-20s? I bet he was running or at least in a resistence cell.

It doesn't even have to be a big plot line, just a one time thing, where they accidentally bump into him at the ISGC or something. Imagine the shock value...

As an update, I have a research paper on global democratization due Thursday, so this next episode may not be out until the end of the week. I'll work on it when I can, but my paper has to come first.Click the banner or episode links to visit the virtual continuations of Stargate!Previous Episode: 11x03 "Shore Leave" | Previous Episode: 6x04 "Nightfall" | Now Airing: 3x06 "Eldest"The Continuing Stargate Wiki | Stargate: Avalon l The New "Ark of Truth" | Stargate: Universe Reviews | Banner designs by Alx

That said, I do like the Proportional Representation system more than the US/UK Single-member District system.Click the banner or episode links to visit the virtual continuations of Stargate!Previous Episode: 11x03 "Shore Leave" | Previous Episode: 6x04 "Nightfall" | Now Airing: 3x06 "Eldest"The Continuing Stargate Wiki | Stargate: Avalon l The New "Ark of Truth" | Stargate: Universe Reviews | Banner designs by Alx

However, people can only choose between two candidates. Personally, I don't vote because I've made an oath not to vote until I can vote for someone with the strength to control the bureaucrats, but still, I prefer having a few more choices. Besides, contrary to popular belief, it's not really the voters who are the power in a democracy (a president-candidate can lie/not keep his promises and four years later the masses will have forgotten that), but the bureaucrats.

Bureaucrats (I hate trying to spell that word) are a problem in just about every country regardless of the system anyway, and as for not voting, it's like my dad always used to remind me: if you don't vote in the election, you don't have the right to complain later.
If you didn't vote, then you had no part in electing the person up there, if you had no part in putting them up there, then logically speaking you can complain.
If you DID vote to put that person up there, then it IS your fault and you have no right to complain

Given the situation, he wasn't sure that exposing the planet to this kind of secret was smart. Miranda had regaled him with stories of how horrible 20th century Earth sounded in her history lessons and it made him leery. "I agree, god knows what would happen if Grunt got loose."

I think that for most people, that phrase, (if you didn't vote...) is missing two words at the end: "to me". You don't have the right to complain to me. "I don't want to hear your bellyaching if you didn't vote for or against so-and-so. You had a chance to have your voice heard and didn't take it so shut up when you're around me."
PS: I have trouble with bureaucracy, too--especially when I stop to think about it.

And I don't see the logic in the first statement. You can't complain if you didn't even TRY to get your candidate into office. I agree with Jeffala's post on this- when you're by yourself an no one can hear you, complain all you want lol.

Originally posted by AVFan View PostI don't think that's completely correct either, IMO. If you voted against the candidate you dislike, and they still got into office, then you can complain all you want. However, if you voted FOR the candidate and they get into office, then you have no right to complain about them whatsoever.
