Our future

"I'm a Republican!"
Those three words came out of my friends mouth the other day and it hit me-- YOU are my future? Shit. I turned around in my swivel chair attached to my desk and asked, "what are your views on taxes between the rich and middle class?"
"I don't know! I asked my mom yesterday and she told me I was a Republican!"
Shit.
Maybe you should watch the Democratic National Convention, you know Obama is coming to Dublin, OH, why not go see him?
"No way, Obama is never going to be president."
"Why not?"
"He's black."
Shit.
"Really? I didn't notice, I did notice that McCain is OLD!!!!" I followed by sticking my tongue out at her and turning back around.

I never joke about these things, this really happend. For those of you who are registered to vote because it was the cool thing to do or it was just required by your Government teacher your Senior year of High School, please watch the news, its way more interesting than you may think.
