at first i really didnt believe that my voice would be heard in any election. when i was a wee lad back at St. Lawrence O'toole in the 7th grade, we took the whole year to study the American Government, which also included a field trip to Washington, DC our nations capital. learning my VOTE for any presidental race really didnt matter in a sense that the president is elected by electoral college. living in california the vote will go to the democratic candidate.
in all honestly i didnt care for the American government. thinking it did nothing for me nor did nothing for my family. after many years of thinking and basically bullshittin my vote, i realized that this country is the greatest nation. puttin aside, the lying and the bullshit, the wars and conflicts, the things they may or maynot be hiding from its people. this is a great nation. compared to other places where poverty is the main population, where free speach is punishable by death. where healthcare is either very limited or unavailable. or where any religion can be practiced freely...understand. although things may not go a way we planned none the less, this country has given us more FREEDOM than any country could ever give. so dont complain that something didnt go your way, get out there and do something...vote. that is the beauty of this nation. change is in the hands of the people.
