Food For Thought

This sums up how I feel about the upcoming election and politics right now.

Andrew McMahon (Jack's Mannequin / Something Corporate) has issued us the following statement regarding the upcoming vote:
Andrew McMahon and the voteTo all considering to vote in this upcoming election: DO! We are in the midst of one of the most important elections in history right now. I am the first to admit that I believe all politicians are flawed and the system is broken, but the only way to affect change is to take a stand and vote. We owe it to ourselves to watch these debates and cut through the massive amount of bullshit and try and find the candidate that speaks most clearly to our own core values. We can argue that neither of these men or their tickets represent us as a country and while that may very well be true, I dare say that it's best we all find one that gets close verses allowing either to take a pass and become our next president because we did not stand up and let our own voices be heard. Every persons politics is their business and my goal would never be to try and force mine, the only point worth forcing now is getting informed and getting to the polls.

Such good points...I don't think anyone could read that and disagree. Well, unless they're in love with one of the candidates or something...which I don't know anyone who is. Well except this kid I know named Kevin...the way he talks makes me fairly certain he wacks off to McCain/Palin campaign posters at night.
