10 Alert! Alarm! Vade retro, Satan! An abstentionist! Worse still, a satisfied abstentionist, because the few times I have voted, in a time frame of youthful innocence, I later regretted it and felt ashamed for years. That is how it is, having had a glimmer of hope makes me feel ashamed. Since I want to be a consistent cynic, on election days I lock myself at home, secure in my decision, but also with the will not to look at others with condescension, because no one deserves to have a bitter lady like me do so.
