1. Too simplistic.

[Egnever]

2. Yup

[malaise]

3. A strange thing happened to me today. I was leaving Devon House and there were two of us

on the walkway - on the ground in front of me I found $3,000 - three $1,000 bills (Jamaican). I called the person in front of me and asked her if her bag was open or if she had money in her pocket. She said no.
I saw a Security Guard and was giving her the money when the young lady said she could use the money sine she didn't have a bus or taxi fare. I gave the Security Guard the money and left knowing fully well that she was likely to keep it herself. Simple - it wasn't my money.

4. True to a point. But often, figuring out the right thing to do *does* require thinking. (n/t)

5. Mother always said to tell the truth

that way you never have to remember anything

[malaise]

9. Yep Liars need very good memories

6. Think before you speak.

Look before you leap.
Don't go off half-cocked.
Never judge a book by its cover.
Don't judge a person until you have walked a mile in those moccasins.

If you don't think, how do you know that you are right?

7. If you don't think, someone else will do it for you

whether they have your interests at heart or not.

I think sometimes of a part of the legal definition of mental competence, which is to see whether you act in you own best interests. That is at least as important in voting as in other places, and one of the problems we have as a country is easily manipulated "gut" voters. Thinking is important.

8. If you're not thinking, how do you know it's right?

This sounds more like a call for obedience to impulse or appetite and for humans that is far too often a dreadful thing.

10. Of course it requires thinking.

I hope that people think about voting, and think about their votes.

The people who oppose thinking will love this.

11. We're not robots.

I think I understand what you mean in regards to voting but it isn't a phrase that stands on its own.
