I don't understand the attitudes I see here in Texas. I happen to be liberal and am firmly against the current administrations attitudes and activities. The people around me however don't seem to care one way or the other. I worked in a bookstore of all places - where we talked politics all day and sold political books all day, and I think only 1 or 3 of us voted in the last two elections. Lifelong liberals that didn't vote because it wont change anything, conservatives who want to blow up the whole mid-east, but didn't vote because they trust the government to take care of it.I know usa has very low turn-out, but sometimes I wonder just who is voting? or even watching the news. I have pot smoker friends who vote republican over the issue of machine guns? To the rest of the world - I think we are confused over here.
