I got to vote today! Yes, I'm excited about that. It was much easier this time. Last time I voted in California (my first time), and I was awfully confused for a while. I figured it out, I think. I felt like a grown-up though, walking into the school and voting, seeing all the other people walking in and out of the school, voting. I guess I'll never feel fully adult until I'm out of the military. They babysit us too much. Or maybe it's just that I can't pick out my own clothes.
I feel like I live in my own private world of voting. The people I work with never ever talk about it, whether they don't care or just don't talk about it, I don't know. I don't want to talk about it with them because I know I hold a minority viewpoint, and I don't want to discuss why. I consider none of them friends, so it doesn't matter much to me what they think. My other friends talk about it occasionally, but not with the fervor running through me while reading the news online. Did people ever discuss news? Do they now? It seems like a lot of people just don't pay attention. But then, I normally feel alone with my thoughts, rarely get to discuss them with others, so I know I don't have a good understanding of what others talk about.
Yes, I would appreciate mandatory voting, having the threat of a parking ticket type fine placed on me for not voting. I wonder what in the world might happen if we all voted?
