I still can't believe the poor voter turnout in the last election -- especially in the younger voting population! It seems that the first to bitch are the last to do anything about it... gee, gives me a lot of hope for the future, you know?
And I can't believe more people aren't completely appalled at the treatment of the mentally ill in this country -- not just with the legal system, but with the incredible lack of funding for programs to help the mentally ill (especially those who can't afford healthcare... which is most of them, because they can't hold high paying jobs with benefits!)
I still don't get why Dubya got the "moral" vote. So it's OK to blow up Arabs and put kids and the mentally ill to death in our "judicial" system just as long as nobody gets an abortion? Uh... okay
