We know it matters but try telling that to the rest of the nation

I think I will tell that to everyone who complains about the presidents or about governers or mayors...

I sort of wish I lived nearer to Pittsburgh. Their Mayor needs to go.

Why don't you like him?
Sorry I don't keep up with politics very much..

He's really really young and was appointed to the position after the previous mayor died. He's gotten into some trouble

Oh ok.. that's really sad.. I guess that is why most people hate people in politics...

Yep, you would be correct.

People can change that though >.>

They can but it seems they want to complain about it more.

Yea, I know.. but people only want to look for the bad in others now-a-days.. why can't we live in happier times...

Oh well -sigh- Let's talk about something happier...

Works for me :)

Yay!!! But what to talk about??? I dunno >.> What is going on in current news?

I can't even tell you what's going on here. I haven't watched the news for so long.

Then how to do you keep track of events that are going on?

Word of mouth mostly. I just listen to other people and if I really want to know, I look online.

Oh ok.. I don't like doing that usually.. I hear about something then I want to look it up for myself...

The news depresses me with all the violence so I just don't bother most of the time.

Aww.. I am so sorry...

So what do you do with your free time then?

During the week my free time is spend here online. On weekends, I spend it with my boyfriend.

Oooohhh.. boy friend >.> I heard those things can be trouble.. >.>

LOL, yes I'm sure they can be but I think I'm old enough to handle it...lol.

Eee, I know you guys said move on to a happier topic, but I'm raging inside and just have to comment that if it weren't for the electoral college, Bush wouldn't have won (was it his first term, or second?) More people actually voted for the other guy, but the electoral college threw it off because even if only a few thousand votes make the difference in one state, that guy wins ALL those electoral votes. I seriously wish they would just get rid of the whole electoral college and just count the votes!!!

It was his first term, not now...

And if it wasn't for the electoral college the people in states who have the most people and voted for the same person they could control everyone because of them sharing simiarities between them... that is why there is an electoral college...

LOL, I completely agree fawN.
