Our
View: Students vote
The
presidential election is coming soon to
a theatre near you. As we wait for the fabulous
next episode in our nation's democracy,
we have a chance to reflect on the chances
of us getting a halfway decent selection
for the ballot.
Too
often in elections you end up voting against
a candidate than for one. All the candidates
end up being such lops that there is no
way you could possible really want one to
win. Maybe now with a few halfway decent
Democrats and a powerful Republican incumbent
we can get some beliefs out there.
Too
often, young people become the compromised
faction, and it isn't justified considering
how many of us there are. Once we realize
that the issues debated on the floor of
Congress and the people we put in office
are directly connected with us, maybe students
will make sure they pay attention in the
next year and show up to the polls next
year.
