Florida Primaries

I was surprised today by the amount of people who told me not only are they NOT voting (which is perfectly ok) but dont ever want to vote. Jersey shore, Simon Cowell, Lebron and Miami Dolphins you win this round. You can still have your bread and circus, but if enough people remain ignorant- then we'll be 15 trillion in debt with 18% unemployment, be groped at the airport and having Americans assassinated or detained without a trial by the US government!

here are some uninteresting headlines completely unrelated to television watching that dont have anything to do with effecting our lives:

I am not bitter in the least bit, when i was younger i didnt register to vote because if i did i would be drafted into Iraq; so i held my political ideology to my self or restricted it to intellectual debate. But to refuse to? And at such a pivotal time to be asleep at the wheel! If you arent educated then there is no better time to start paying attention. If you still think your life isnt effected, you're wrong. TRUST ME, take it from somebody who lived without rights for so long; you'll miss them when they are gone!!!



"The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it."
