So… Today, we went to “vote” in one of the rooms on the A wing. It was pretty simple, I got a piece of paper, wrote in what I thought, and just turned it in.
Simple as it was, there was still so much debate between the presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain. There were people yelling “Vote for Obama!” or “Vote for McCain!” everywhere you looked. Most kids didn’t even know what they were talking about. I recall somebody saying “Obama is a socialist,” but when ask what “socialist” meant, he was dumbfounded.
Now, I’m trying to remain totally neutral in this, so I’m not looking for fights.
But seriously, research your facts people! I mean, half of the people I am hearing say this stuff don’t know a thing they are saying. Personally, I hate talking about politics, all it will lead to are arguments. It is getting a tiny bit annoying of kids shoving in my face half-baked lectures, about stuff they barely know about. In fact, I am sick and tired of this! I actually have a brain (yes, I am also amazed) I don’t need another person to make a decision for me. Please, don’t call me stupid or narrow minded for not following your beliefs. Don’t try to force ideas on me when I don’t on you!
So enough with the rant..
I, myself, don’t have that much experience about politics and voting. I know a scarce amount of knowledge of the candidates. I know just enough to make a decision.
I guess that is why they don’t let 13-year-old’s vote.
Sincerely,
The Editor <3
