The Nitti Beat's Post

Personally I'm very disappointed, because of what Megan said. Unfortunately, Megan isn't the only person who doesn't know what is going on in the election. The problem is, is that we aren't taught about what is going on until it is almost time for us to start to vote and actually care about what is going to happen to the country. If we are taught, from a young age, about the different parties and the representative's views, then we could understand more when we are ready to vote. I also understand that the people around you will also influence you. I have this "influence" first hand from my grandfather, who is republican, and my parents, who are democrats. The problem with me is, is that I look to the future and see the that voting republican helps my grandfather and his business, so it will help me later. Also, while in the other survey class, we did a computer assignment on msnbc.com that really educated me. Basically, I just think people need to be educated.
