Today (or rather, in 6 and a half hours) it's time for voting! I'm stoked.. I'm so ready for a change in this screwed up mess of a country that I live in. Sometimes I think to myself, how much more of a difference would it have made if Al Gore had actually become our president? What would have been changed? What kind of problems would we have faced had we had a Democrat for our president instead of a Republican? The last president that I /remember/ being in office was Bill Clinton. I remember seeing him on Nickalodian so often, and I remember really enjoying what he had to say, even though I was really young. I think that Obama's going to give us something to look forward to. With McCaine... I'm not so sure. I don't really enjoy the fact that both have a 1/7 chance of dieing in office... One probably more likely than the other, considering the one's black and the other's just really freakin' old... But regardless, I'm just ready for some sort of give in this mess. I want to be able to go out and not hear about a million people losing their jobs. I want to be able to be certain that my children (if I have any) will be able to breathe clean air and drink clean water, and not worry that when they grow old that they'll have to pay a shit-ton of money for health care and benefits. I've got a lot on my mind....
I want there to be equality. I want there to be tollerance. I want there to be change. I think that lots of things can be changed, and for the better. I just hope, regardless of who wins, that all of the change is for the better.
Peace and Love
