You actually made me think if I spent more time contemplating the rationality of voting or the rationality of the candidates. I believe in voting, but I don’t personally want to vote. That is to say, other people can vote if they choose because that’s the privilege they have in a democracy, but I don’t vote for personal reasons. You could say that I had a traumatic experience (although that would be an overstatement). I followed the 2008 presidential election believing that Obama was the better choice. In hindsight, maybe neither choice was a good one. When I lived in Nevada, I witnessed the Reid/Angle election believing that Reid was a RELATIVELY could choice. I was right, but then later on I learned that if people had the option of voting “Neither,” that would have been a better choice. So, I decided that if I register to vote, I won’t choose Reps or Dems, I’ll write in the “other” category. I haven’t decided what I’ll write; maybe I’ll be a part of the “Dance” party or “Pajama” party or “Birthday” party or “After” party. I’m not saying that I’ll never follow politics ever, I still do. I just don’t want to vote because, quite frankly, I don’t gain anything when voting between a giant douche and a turd sandwich.
When it comes to tipping, though, I use the triple T method: TAX TIMES TWO.
Lastly, and this is totally irrelevant to what I stated before, but your first sentence made me laugh. “It seems to me that tipping involves rather little money, and voting involves rather little time”. You know what else involves rather little money and time? Suicide. Or prostitutes. I really don’t think your first sentence is really necessary is the point I’m trying to get across.

Tax Times Two depends on the state. Delaware has no sales tax.
Awesome!
