In the last election, fewer than half of all Americans of voting age actually voted. The lack of participation in the voting process has led to many unintended consequences. Politicians are more likely to campaign directly to narrow factions of the public and to stress very specific issues relevant to those factions. As a result, issues that concern the greater, non-voting public may never be addressed. Second, when politicians do not hear from voters, they have no way to know what the majority cares about. Without clear direction from their constituents (the people who voted for them), politicians may not be able to make choices that best serve their communities.

A poached egg can be a delicate and delicious breakfast or lunch option. To poach an egg, begin by adding three cups of a water and a quarter cup of white vinegar to a sauce pan. Place the pan over medium heat and let it come to a low boil or simmer. In the meantime, break one egg into a small dish. When the water is just bubbling in the pot, slide the egg into the water. Allow it to set and do not stir or disturb the water. Turn the heat down to low/medium. Let the egg cook in the simmering water for three minutes (or longer if you’d like a more firm yolk). Pull the egg from the water with a slotted spoon and place it on a paper towel to drain the water. Poached eggs are often served with toast.
