are any of you running to be part of the board? not governor, not even senator, but even of any of the several committees eg the ones that check for squandering perhaps?
sure, my parents dont have a say in who to vote for other than to just chose between a or b, but do they necessarily care? yes it is whining. because YOU are whining yet you do nothing. what good is it to whine on an internet forum? are yuo helping anything? its very easy to whine about how we dont hav any candidates, its another to get out there and do something
me. i dont care. whether or not we went to war, either 1 group or a tnoehr group would be pissed. thats politics. which is why i choose not to get involved. which is why i dont COMPLAIN...

First of all, your entire post is a complaint so come on down off your high horse. This is a thread about politics, I was under the impression I could post my political opinions here. Maybe that's not the case...
Secondly, how would you know whether or not I'm
involved in politics? You wouldn't. I'm only 24 so, no, I haven't held any political office as of yet. Does that mean that I don't intend to or that I'm not inolved in politics? No. I actually
do plan on running for city office in the next decade (Once I own a house and have a city to call my own and represent.) I have always taken an active role in taking care of things I want to get done. I was class president in 8th grade, student council 9th, 10th, and 11th grade and class vice president in 12 grade. While I was in college, I was actively
volunteering my time to help other students register to vote.
I can gurantee you I plan to do a hell of a lot more for what I believe in that just sit there and pick from 'a' or 'b'.
Who says cops can't hold public office? Be the commissioner or the chief of police. Stand up for yourself. Raise your voice. Don't be content to be a number in the system.
