It's just terribly sad that people in newly democratic countries will stand in line for hours upon hours and yet...here we are - we won't wait 15 minutes and we won't look at the issues because we don't think the politicians are "talking to us". The younger generation, college kids, think the politicians are only gunning for the baby boomers. The baby boomers think most politicians are gunning for my generation - generation X. Generation Y and, soon enough, Generation Millenia will be up and raising families of their own. Here's a thought - figure out what the issues are for your area and research the candidates. Then, regardless of who you feel the politician is talking to, go and vote!
