Going away for 4 years
If anyone is listening, which I doubt they are, I have a few things to say:
I'm going on hibernation on this blog for 4 years. I'll come back in October '08 about 2 weeks before the election (so about October 19th, 2008). I have a question, too:
What went wrong?
What went wrong in the election that Kerry lost to Shrub and company? What went wrong? Kerry did everything he could, Shrub did as little as he could, and Kerry didn't win! I don't get it!
Oh, yeah, I do get it. A bunch of lazy young voters didn't bother to vote in the election. I read a magazine about a month and a half before the election that said "What Kids Think of The Vote: 45% said it mattered to them, 25% said it sort of mattered to them, and 30% said... they didn't care!"
They didn't care? THEY DIDN'T CARE? THIS ELECTION ISN'T JUST ABOUT WHO'S IN CHARGE IN A HOUSE IN DC, IT'S ABOUT PEOPLE'S LIVES! IT'S ABOUT YOUNG PEOPLE'S LIVES JUST AS MUCH OR MORE THAN ADULT'S LIVES! THE REPUBLICANS WANT TO RE-INSTATE THE DRAFT AND YOUNG PEOPLE DON'T GIVE A CRAP!
I can't believe it. But I have two more things to say before I go:
If young people go off to Iraq and some die, then so be it.
And one more thing: Thanks for all the comments when I posted (I'm not kidding.) Thanks for reading my posts. And I'll be back every 6 or so months to say one thing or two things. But not as much as I usually say. So, until next time:
Watch this space.
