Damnit, I wish I wasn't such a procrastinator. Especially with regard to the elections.
I mean, I feel educated enough myself to make some good choices in the primaries tomorrow, but I sort of regret not getting more involved somehow. For example, getting people excited enough about the candidates I like, or even just getting people excited about voting! So many people let the elections pass them by, but if they'd get up, get educated and vote we might see some actual change in the government instead of the same old same old, day in day out. I can feel smug for about half a second for stopping at my polling place on the way home from work, but what did I do to get other people there?
I'm glad, however, that it's the primaries. There's still time to do something before the November elections, and I WOULD like to do something. I have some ideas. They're small, but they're ideas.
