Mom asked, "what time are you going to vote on Tuesday?" I look at her and think, "Why can't she see I am tired." I mean heck I've worked all day long and she wants to know what time I'm going to vote. I really, really wanted to ask, "Why just so you can see that I voted the right way?" It's odd that she'd ask. just on the cusp of me actually thinking that I wasn't going to vote at all. I mean seriously, I can't stand how dead fast most of my friends are in picking one candidate over the other. If that one wins, our Northern neighbor looks like a good place to live, I mean really should it be that drastic? Oh I hate our new/or re-elected President, I'm moving. This election year has made me weary beyond belief. I don't think that any election year has been so volitle, with so many different types of passionate people. Maybe I wasn't feeling it in years past. I don't see how my life will be any different Wendsday, than it will be on Tuesday. I want to ask anyone who can tell me honestly. Has any election for a president significantly changed their life, if the incumbant won or a new pres was elected. I don't care who you wanted to win, did anything change? I remember being a little girl in front of the TV just hoping that Ford would win. I didn't want him to win because of anything he did for me, but I wanted him to win because he was the very first Pres. I knew. To this day there has not been one single presidnet elected that changed my life at all. There has not been a single Pres, that changed any of my family members lives either for that matter. Yet for some reason this year the elections are more heated. Why? Honestly, tell me what is going to change? Will we still be in Iraq? Will terrorists still threaten up, like they have for many many years? Will there still be people in Middle Eastern Countries who Hate all that America stands for? Will there be people in America who hate having to buy into our country? Won't there still be people who hate the amount of taxes they have to pay, but gladly cash in their refund year after year? In the end I will go to bed just like I do every night. I will wake up in the morning, get dress and stumble off to work. I will struggle to pay my light bill and the phone bill. I will curse the fact that yet again, my EX hasn't paid his child support, and fucks my Ex best friend on a regular basis. On November 3rd, we may have the same president or a new one, but my day has already been planned and nothing is going to change the plans that have been made. I'm still going to love my kids, and they will still love me. I'm still going to pay a buck ninety a gallon to fill my gas tank, and wish the prices would go down. I'll feel comfort that at the end of the day, I will still go to bed in the exact same place I have for so long. I will still drift off to sleep thankful I live in a country that respects the decisions the people make for our nation. My kids will wake up and go to their same schools, with the same teachers they have seen for many years. If you can, tell me how your life will change if one pres is elected over the other? What would be the significant difference? Post a comment in response: |
