Yup - you are dedicated to politics, and you can clearly remember either who you voted for, or the fact that you didn't vote.

Spotted the difference between you and Peter (short-memory-must-have-a) Garrett? He can't remember whether he voted or not.

I don't know what (if anything) this has to do with my article, but let me address bits of it.

Just because someone can't disprove an assertion you make doesn't make the assertion true. Surely this was covered in Logic A01?
