When The Levee Breaks

Hello! For all people from the USA

Do you guys vote?

If more young people would vote we could be a powerful voting bloc.
Instead they trample on us because of our apathy.

I know it's a pain in the ass to vote, but if you don't, you can't complain about why you can't find a job, why your parents or relatives are losing their jobs, why your cousin is in Iraq dodging terrorists' bullets for energy companies, why you pay taxes for social security while it won't be of any help to you when you're old (if trends continue), why you're having trouble paying for college while Bill Gates is 4 billion richer from tax breaks, why you get an asthma attack when you breath the air in some cities, why it's unsafe to eat more than one can of tuna fish per week because of high levels of heavy metals in the oceans, why the last 3 percent of the Earth's giant redwood trees could soon be lost to greed, why most other countries hate us, why the government still insists on a war on drugs when many police officers talk of how fruitless it is, why 12 year old little girls in housing projects are being sued by large corporate interests instead of adopting a more sensible approach to file sharing....



Don't you want this to mean something again?



I do.

Thanks for your time.

<3 David

I plan to vote and vote Bush out, I supported him on Iraq but more and more things just look sad, in that they can't even secure the damn place, no weapons that I was convinced was there, along with a lack of political direction for this great nation of ours. I would never resort to the American bashing that the Europeans have resorted to, I expect it from the Arab world, but Bush truly lacks any firm vision for this nation and I am tired of his rhetoric about we will defeat the terrorists. Enough already find them, kill them and move on. One thing to remember unlike Iraq under Saddam Hussein, Bush has to face the people in 2004, America is bigger than G.W. Bush and that is the good thing about democracy, you can can his ass. So when people bash America I say at least we can always get rid of our president, unlike some other places around this maddening world.

That's the kind of apathy I'm talking about. Sad.

It's not always a sign of apathy. I just choose not to vote because I don't know enough about the candidates. Then again, all the information we receieve through the media is usually false or exaggerated, so it's very hard to make an educated decision.

I'd much rather only those who do their research and understand politics vote, than every Tom, Dick and Harry voting by eeny-meeny-miny-moe.

That's soooo soooo true, and a great point.

It's hard to keep track of so many candidates sometimes and what they stand for, but it just amuses me why so many people complain about how shitty things are while they don't vote (at least some of the time). They have the power to change things if they don't like them.
