I usually do not discuss politics, which leads people to believe I do not know about it or that I do not care about it. Both are false assumptions. Honestly, I am disgusted by the blatant disrespect people show each other as well as our political leaders/ potential leaders and I choose to not get involved with the negativity. However, after I vote I am always convicted to share my appreciation for a right in which my nation has fought hard for and so many other nations are fighting so hard to achieve. After witnessing countless facebook post, tweets, news articles, church sermons, etc. I can not help but weep for a nation who has so much yet respects so little. It truly baffles me. Today November 6, 2012, I woke up in a warm bed, a house with running water, clothes to wear, food to eat, a car to drive, a place of employment, and so many other luxuries. Most importantly, I woke up with the FREEDOM to vote for whomever and whatever I wanted. Having even just one of these puts you at a greater advantage than most people in this entire world. For this I am truly grateful and overcome with urgency to help those who do not have the same privileges as I do.
