Odd past couple of days. This whole "election" bit is starting to get to me. The school newspaper, the other day, put out an issue, featuring the two "candidates" and offering full polling results and articles offering the pros and cons of the candidates. Faculty to discuss women voting more. Funny statistics, obviously inflated by kids thinking that they have to answer a certain way to look good. To look like they give a shit. To look like they want to change the world.
83% was the figure. 83% of the kids polled were going to vote. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. The national rate is something like 50%, and that's with people at their homes at night. At school? Forget about it. Like kids went through the trouble of absentee balloting. The truth is, these kids know what's really going on. They do. They know that their vote is meaningless. That, no matter what they say, the world isn't going to change with McCain or Obama in office. Not for the better, in any case. They know it doesn't really matter. Yet the college rag keeps saying they should vote if they care about things to come, and the fucking peace people hold debate parties and vote now concerts and shit. Like fucking Barack Obama is going to bring peace to the world. HERE'S A NEWS FLASH. IT'S IN CAPS, YOU CAN'T MISS IT. HE'S WANTS TO GO INTO PAKISTAN AND BLOW UP SCHOOLS BECAUSE SOME GUY HAS A FRIEND WHO SAYS IT'S A TERRORIST TRAINING CAMP. HE WANTS MORE TROOPS IN AFGHANISTAN! THAT IS NOT PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know this. You do. Yet, you have to show that you care, right? That, sure Obama wont bring peace, but McCain will bring less peace so you should vote for the lesser of two evils.
I do not know about you, but I wont accept this. I deserve better than this. I will not endorse a man who is going to blow up a more buildings in the name of my "safety."
I will speak to the contrary.
