don't leave. |
Yep, that was me. I finally de-virginized myself today as an american citizen who can vote. I found that picking a president (oh wait...should that be capitalized) is somewhat easy compaired to the rest of the questions you gotta fill out when voting. I went in today with little knowledge on most of the subjects (other than the President thingy), mainly I only knew info due to information I got from people handing out fliers at the grocery store and from the TV, but not info on ALL of them. Some questions at a first glance made no sense to me (or at least not perfect sense the first time reading them through). I was wishing they had a "so this is what it means in general" section for each question so I could just give my answer without having to re-read anything. I guess they kinda did but it wasn't in stupid talk so I could understand it. It made me wonder if at times I was voting for something I shouldn't be voting for, but was, only because I was a little impatient and thought I understood what they were asking me about rather than 'knowing' what they were asking me.
Bascially I was a little overwhelmed for my first voting experience but I'm glad I did it regardless. I also live in a neighborhood which borders with crackheads so it was really loud at the place I was at, and most of it was from old people who didnt' even speak english. It was very annoying to say the least and didn't make the experience that great...(but the location was perfect, just outside my door pretty much). It was however....an experience. I think next time I'll read through that voter information pamphlet & sample ballot magazine that they send to your house which talks more in depth about each person I'm voting for etc etc...
PS....sorry for the babbled english...i don't like to proofread. haha

I too, voted, though my blood runs canadian my pen writes in american ink. I returned to my home only to find a fucking ticket attached to my car because I didn't move it for street cleaning. Time to fight the man.
I am proud of you brett. I left a lot of those strange ballot measures blank... though there are a few - a 99 year forced contract for tribal gambling - that I did actually have an opinion on.
yea, i realize now that I didn't have to answer all of the questions or even answer any i was somewhat unsure about...but i did. In retrospect though I may have accidentally left a few blank as I skipped some figuring i'd come back to them but I don't recall. Interesting times are ahead.
Posted by: brett at November 2, 2004 6:52 PMDidn't you get a voter info book? I got three... one for the local stuff, one state stuff, and one supplement. I read them all. They have summaries for each proposition and arguments from both sides. I'd go nuts if i had to decide those things IN THE BOOTH.
Posted by: loren at November 2, 2004 11:28 PMWhoa. Deja Vu. I just re-read your post and you said you didn't read it. haha. Didn't I do the same thing two years ago?
Posted by: loren at November 2, 2004 11:30 PMAt least they try to inform you. In Georgia I didn't get anything like that. I did vote, but at times it seems kind of futile since I live in such a conservative state. At least we gave it a try.
Posted by: liz at November 3, 2004 11:49 AMyeah, but i think california sends you the stuff b/c unlike normal states, we had 9 different gov't positions open, then we had 16 propositions.
i went to dinner with friends on monday night and i brought the pocket handbook, so we basically spent 1.5 hours debating each prop. i felt like was cramming for the SATs.
not sure if i got all the right answers, but i too was proud to have been an "educated" voter. fuck tribal gambling...hooray for stem cell research!
Posted by: missy at November 3, 2004 1:20 PMNobody before the Pythagoreans had thought that mathematical relations held the secret of the universe. Twenty-five centuries later, Europe is still blessed and cursed with their heritage. To non-European civilizations, the idea that numbers are the key to both wisdom and power, seems never to have occurred. by online poker

Posted by: Levitra online at April 28, 2005 7:46 AMSuccess, in my view, is the willingness to strive for something you really want.
