Voting Is Like Bathing

Public Enemy’s Chuck D. tells Mother Jones magazine that voting is as important as taking a bath. “It’s something you’re supposed to do,” he explained. “You can’t go around bragging, expecting to get props [just] because you voted. That’s stupid. You don’t see people running around trying to get props because they washed up. ‘I washed today! I took a shower today!'” He added, “But if you don’t vote, you can’t go around if something goes wrong saying, ‘Aw, man, stuff just stinks!'”
