I'm Young And I Will Swing The Vote

Before I go into my political shpeal, a few things. The first being that I have bought myself a pretty little beta fish and I have named him Mordred. When he heals, he's going to be gorgeous. You see, his fin is kind of messed up. Like he got in a fight or something. But his colors are so pretty. I love him.

Second, I cut my hair. I finally did it. And it's short, and I have bangs. It's been such a long time since I've had bangs. I might have some pictures in a couple weeks, but I promise nothing.

The FSU game was fun, although it wasn't terribly exciting. An easy win, if there is such a thing for us. The weather was gorgeous, though. Actually, it's been fantastic out all weekend long. I love it. It's going to change and get hot again, because Tallahassee weather is crazy like that, but for now, I'm living it up.

Now, about those elections. I'm a registered Independent, but I'm voting for Kerry. I'm not voting for Kerry because he's a Democrat, or because I hate Bush. I'm voting this way because I while I will always support our troops (my cousin is serving in Iraq, driving one of those supply trucks), I really do not support the way Bush has handled this "War On Terror". I don't think we as a country should be spending $120 billion dollars on this war when we have enough problems at home. Some of that ought to be going into education or healthcare, something that's really going to protect us on a day to day basis. Unemployment is at a 10 year high and the government is is supporting tax breaks for the wealthy and good, steady jobs are still being sent overseas by corporations. I don't like the fact that the current government will not allow gay marriages, even though the right should already be theirs. I don't like anti-abortion laws - that choice is mine to make, and mine alone.

I just think that it's time for a change. This is not the direction that I want our country to be going in, so I'm not going to let them have that additional four years to continue with an agenda that I don't really support. This is just one girl's opinion. Whether you agree or disagree, however, I do want to encourage all of you that can to go out and vote in November. Because in an election like this one, your vote will make a difference. Swing the vote, make your voice heard. It's the American way. ^_~
