So, I try to not voice my opinions on politics at all. I don't like to argue, and it just gets me riled up when people try to prove to me why my opinion is wrong and their's is right. I do feel though, that it's important to be informed. To seek out knowledge and base your opinion off of facts. How ever you take the information provided to you, let that base your opinion. Don't go off spewing off random things and trying to convince people how you are right when you don't have anything at all to back them up. And right now, I think people need to be informed.
I myself, am what I would consider independent. I'm definitely more left than I am right, but I still have a little right in me. (That sounds funny). But I watched both the RNC and the DNC and have been following the issues so that I know who I want to vote for.
But this is what makes me sad. President Obama is giving his speech tonight, and at the same time MTV scheduled the VMA's. Now really, people need to be informed. Not on who they think is the best singer or who is wearing what to an awards show. They need to be informed on what could potentially be changed in America's future. And wether you are for Obama or not, it's still good to know what he plans on doing if he is re-elected for another term.
I just don't know. I don't get it. If there are people voting for my future, I'd like them to be informed. I don't want it to just be a whim.
