For whom you are voting, FPM or LF is not the issue here, not to me at least. Each person is free to choose whoever he wants. Nor being affiliated to any political party is the issue either. In my family no one is politically affiliated except for me, but each has his or her preferences.
I am not questioning your patriotism nor your love for Lebanon, am I? I am only questioning this rather undemocratic way of doing things in a supposedly democratic country. I personally can never force my will on others (because when you say we do it by vote it means the majority is forcing their will on the minority) nor will I ever accept that someone dictates to me to whom I should vote, the freedom of vote is a basic freedom like the freedom of speech, the freedom of thinking, related of course to the human's basic rights like the right for food, for vacations, for working in a safe environment.... To me they are all equal and other than that is unacceptable to me.
Sorry sanfour if I am insisting on this issue, after all neother I nor anyone is entitled to tell you how to live or behave, but seeing someone like you whose posts I know very well saying that the family decided to vote LF so we will all do, to me is unacceptable, especially coming from someone who less than 3 weeks ago wrote this:

But then again, we are different, I stick to my principles no matter what, I did not vote for Michel Murr although GMA asked us to, and I later told GMA that, he was not upset, he respected my freedom of choice, the way I will respect every person's freedom of choice once the elections come.
