Last night's episode of WB's Seventh Heaven emphasized how important it is to vote, and was well-written as well as amusing. Ruthie, the youngest daughter now in ninth grade, was faced with an interesting question - what did she stand for? Ruthie didn't know how to answer that question and spent a good part of the episode trying to figure that out. What she said toward the end was quite profound (and sorry, I paraphrase here): It's too bad that children can't vote - the world would be a much better place if they did. Perhaps she has a point.

The shows ending began with various children saying to the audience, "Vote for me," (as in, "vote for my sake"), and ended with the adults with the simple admonition, "Vote."
