Wow. Wonder what they are teaching the kids in Bayboro:

BAYBORO ? Seventeen-year-old David Spencer won’t be eligible to vote until 2005, but he was busy Wednesday helping fellow Pamlico County High School students register for the November election.

“Voter apathy is a pathway to socialism,” Spencer said, while manning a Leadership Information for Tomorrow voter registration table in the school commons.

“A lot of people consider it unimportant, because they think their vote is unimportant. But, if everyone doesn’t vote then you don’t have everyone’s opinion.”
