In an attempt to encourage all Americans to go out safely and cast votes for US national elections, the car rental company Hertz has launched a unique program.

You think & quot; why my vote matters & quot! But wait a second. Here are some examples to show why every vote matters.

My thoughts on this week's Brexit vote.

This is a social post from io9, so there is no list of "definitive" heroes, but for my two cents, yes Hermione is indeed a hero, whether she is the main protagonist or not (and I would even argue that point as well- Harry would literally be dead without her).

I would vote for:

Hermione from Harry Potter

Lyra Silvertongue from His Dark Materials

Roald Dahl's Matilda

Princess Cimorene from Dealing with Dragons

There are lots more, but I am woefully behind on my YA reading, either classic or new.
