I thought you were from the US...where are you from?

So true. It's a damn shame.

Canada.

No !!!!!!!!! It matters. Even if you're not voting for the one I or one of your friends likes, exercise your RIGHT to vote. Think about those who can't.

I'm a Canuck, born and raised dude. The land of the beaver, maple syrup, hockey and a curious lack of igloos :p

EDIT - Just realized that I typed that with a big ol' cup of Tim Horton's coffee in my other hand. If that doesn't prove the point...nothing will.

I thought you were 17, maybe I'm remembering that incorretly (wouldn't be the first time). :)

Anyway, I just wanted to say that I think it's encouraging that you have such enthusiasm for voting. I may not agree with your choice, but that's fine. We all have the right to our opinions and choices. It's one of the great freedoms we still have in this country. And this country may have it's problems, but I still think it's the best country in the world.

Isn't it though.

It's too bad the Liberals ran such a weak campaign...the carbon tax really could have benefited the country. Harper's just going to have us more of the same, and keep trying to turn us into USA: Part 2.

I'll admit that Dion probably doesn't have what it takes to lead the country - but at least he had some new ideas, and that's a hell of a lot more than you can say about Harper.

But hey - at least he wont have Bush to chum around with anymore.

I have to admit, Bush has been a disappointment (to say the least). :( One way or another, hopefully things will change for the better.

Not to stir trouble...seriously.
It has to be said

Excercise your right to vote.
Yes, it is a privilege and it is amazing-I am so happy America is the way it is.
Flaws and all, we have the best country because the ability to change our minds, voice our opinion and read what we want (except certain towns in WVA)

We also have the RIGHT to not be political, or religious for that matter.
I live in a very Republican, Fundamental Religious town.
I am a minority in the views I have.
I am made to feel stupid because I do not vote.
I am made to feel I am UN-AMERICAN (whaaaa? I have the right to my voice too right? Oh wait, that's only if I agree with the majority...hm?)
I hate war, but have the utmost respect for what our soliders do for us, but I am made to feel I am spitting on them because I want them to stop fighting a losing battle.

I feel like people should be judged by character
I feel people have the right to their beliefs about God or non belief...shit even in the bible we are said to have FREE WILL..der
I feel people should say their peace but respect another's as well.
I think our enviroment is the most important problem we have today and it's too damn late for anything to help it....10 years ago maybe- but Bush has truly fucked that one in the ass. Although I still recycle and reuse.
I think people spend too much time judging and not seeing their own faults, but you know what, they have that right!

I do not like politics and I will not vote for a broken, irreparable system that has gone so far from what our founding fathers intended .
Our polictical system has the foundations to transform America into fucking Utopia, I have no doubt.
It would have to be torn down to that foundation and re -built by people who are not racist, sexist, or whatever the religious one is...no bias in any way, not bought, not sold, no money for this, that or the other bribe or gift. The people of the new government would have to be honest, decent and intelligent and have a selfless agenda.
It's not going to happen.
I will not add to the chaos with my vote that could be discarded at a politicians whim anyway.
Think that can't happen?
Let me tell you about the early voting here:
You go in, SIGN YOUR NAME and vote
No proof of ID, no proof of voter registration, NOTHING
So, I could go in there and vote and then change my appearence and vote again
If you get caught, it's a federal offense- but um, if I am FAKING my name- how the hell are they going to find me eh??
This little fact makes me sick but it's completely not suprising.



I think if a 100 more of you LEP...could really get in there and tear it up and truly make a difference.
But the thing is, youth is idealistic and has the energy to change things....if you can manage to get into politics and not have those good morals destroyed , then all the power to you honey, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart.
So, influence your friends, get a gang of people like minded as you are, study the law, get into entry level government jobs and keep on climbing baby.:)

I haven't lost my hope, almost, but not completely.
I still think at the end of the movie, in 2 seconds, something miraculous might happen....

Go Ron Paul!


Oh, wait... This is America, the good candidates always get knocked out.

*gives novakru a standing ovation*

That was beautiful and well said!
