Happy Election Day, or not.

I truly believe it is our civic duty to vote. Parties and politics aside, I think we as Americans, as Californians, as San Diegans, as Santee...ans, we are all responsible for our leadership. We're very lucky to live in country that believes in democracy, in the idea that one vote can make a difference (especiallly in Florida!). I admittedly and regretfully voted for George Bush. I voted for Obama. I voted for the Governator. The fact is, I've voted. I do my part.

That being said, I'm really struggling with the idea of voting tomorrow. I feel a little young to be saying this, but I've kind of lost my faith in politicians. You're probably snickering, thinking how can this girl have ever trusted a politician? How many dirty, sleazy, horrible jokes have we all heard about the way politicians conduct business, who they are as people, their trustworthiness, etc. etc. etc. I think I've been clouded by immaturity and inexperience since voting and it's just been recently that I'm realizing what slimeballs all of the politicians are...

I'm really disappointed! I'm really having a hard time deciding who I should vote for tomorrow. Who is the lesser of two evils? Should I even vote if both are shitty candidates with their own scary agendas?

I might just fly by the seat of my pants...since that's basically what all the politicians do.
