Now, on with other things...
Today is election day. I like to think of myself as an informed voter. A person who typically cares about the state of our country and who is running it. This time around, this election, I was not that person. For some reason, this election completely slipped my mind (probably because of the 1,257 other things that are constantly running around in there). This weekend I realized that I did not have an ever loving clue who the candidates and issues were. Sure...I've seen and heard all the political ads for the last few months. They just didn't spark any interest or thought within me. They didn't motivate me to go out and research the topics and candidates for myself. For the first time since I have had the civil right (and responsibility) to vote, I just didn't care. So shoot me.
And now, I feel bad about it. I feel guilty for not caring and for not voting. But I was thinking about something and I will leave you with this question...
What is worse: An uneducated, biased vote or no vote at all?
