ELECTIONS
So yesterday was the election and i am happy to say the candidate that i supported won. i was also glad to see McCain maintain his grace and professionalism in the situation. that is not to say his supporters did the same. within moments of the results, i was called a "baby killer" and felt very attacked. soon after, i learned that one of the pople who called me this didnt even exercise their right to vote. i feel that everyone has a right to voice their opinion, but i also feel that if you dont take action and vote, there is no way you can complain. it really bugs me that so many people complain about the outcome of things like elections, but dont practice their right to vote. it rarely happens that we have to vote, and with new technology, it is easier than ever. so why do people choose not to vote? i have no idea. i voted and the actual voting process had me in and out in under three minutes. i think it is so important to vote, as well as respect others stances they may take on political issues. i think we all also need to realize that the majority of these issues will never have 100% support. there is no right and wrong. just because i support obama does not mean i amm a baby killer. i also feel people are ignorant, but have done no research or homework in terms of learning about the candidates.
