Fan the Flames: Why You Should Vote

First, I wanted to announce that I now have a name for this little column here:  "Fan the Flames."  Obviously, it had to be something related to the Internet (and occasionally real life) nick name.  It is also the name of a feminist bookstore in Columbus that I only went to once before it closed, but was pretty cool.  Since...
