Ok, here it is. Finally my first politcal article, and probably one of my very few. I really don't like to get onto the subject of poltics. Mainly because I am not of legal age to vote yet. So I'm sitting here thinking.....Why does it matter to me who gets elected for president? Why? Because they'll be the one who decides the future for our country, our nation. I would like to have a say in the election, but since I am not 18 yet I really can't. Yes, I can go around and say either bad or good things about each canadate....but what's that going to do? Who's going to listen to some 15 year old kid talk about the election, and what they think? Not very many people I know would. This year, I really haven't watched any of the debates between Kerry and Bush. But I do know somethings that have been said and went on so far. I've heard talk and such, I'm not sure if all of it is true or not. Why am I talking about this you may wonder.....
Well this Friday, I believe, we are having a mock election at my highschool. I'm not sure who I want to cast my vote for yet. I'm kina in the middle between Bush and Kerry. Even though my mock vote isn't going to count for anything, I want to choose who I think would be right for the job. I am for Kerry on what he said about abortion during one of the debates. He's Catholic, and so am I. He thinks abortion is wrong, just as I myself think. But I believe he said that a woman should still have a right to have one if she wants. I think that, it shouldn't be allowed. Maybe in some cases of rape. But still....if you think about it, it's not the baby's fault that it got there in the first place, so why should it still have to die? Although it may not be the mother's fault either, but you can't blame anyone except for the raper. So why take it out on the baby and kill it?
I'm also for Kerry because right now, we should really be over in Korea. There are people over there ready to start a nuclear war with us. I think we should stop them. We captured Sadam already. I think things are going to be alright over in Iraq for now. I mean look what is going on over there. Raping, murdering. From both the Iraqs and our own soldiers!! It is so wrong! None of that needs to happen! And Bush doesn't care about Osama one bit! I mean, if the man's still out there, you should kinda worry about him ya know! And Kerry is also willing to track him down.
So I think from looking over things, my vote is probably going to Kerry. So, it may not count, but at least I voiced my opinion!
