Your Civic Duty To Not Vote?

I'm one for these people think that every American that is old enough to vote should vote; no excuses. Well, John Stossel form 20/20 has a different idea. In his article for 20/20 Stossel states that there are people out there whose civil duty should be to not vote on election day because they just don't know enough about the government. Now, there are a bunch of things that I have agreed with Stossel on. This isn't one of them. Do we really want to say that only a privileged few should be aloud to vote and tell how the country goes? I've seen how that works in history class and it isn't pretty. And for those who say "Well I don't know much this election so I'll just not vote." Well for the love of God you have around three weeks before election day. Is it that hard to find a candidate whose political views are close to yours? Not voting is bad enough but to not even get yourself informed so that you don't have to vote is inexcusable.
