i dont want ya'll to think this is sexist, but it'll sound like it at first.

unfortunately i didnt get to vote today. i was a good 2 and half hour drive from my voting districtict and i couldnt vote absentee cause i didnt have my card. oh well

but as i was just having an conversation with a friend of mine over AIM, i realized how important it can be to have an informed opinion and making an effort to go vote. like it or not, these people we're voting for are in going to be in charge of what we can and cant do and what not. so it's important to get your say in. and it's important to take adavantage of it cause alot of poeple gave alot to make this possible. more than we'll ever know.

when i look back on what i did today as i fought for my own life, it makes me think that alot of people died for my right to vote.

so here is the part that might be sexist. i think if anyone should feel the urge to go vote, are the males between the ages of 18 to 25, cause we're the ones that will be called up for the draft first. i'm not saying there will be one if we dont go vote. but you have to realize. if your a male, when you turn 18, you have to register for the draft. you dont have much of a choice. your life can literally hang in the choice of one of these people you either choose to, or not to vote for.

so does that help you realize how important it is. at least for the guys. ya, i didnt vote, but i should of. it's our right that many people dont have.
