Did you vote today?

I Did!!!!
I'm registered in the small community of Little Flock, Arkansas...... When I say small, it is small. But I must say that at 2:00 PM this afternoon there were quite a few peeps there doing there duty and casting there ballot. I did notice something kinda strange though... I was the only voter under the age of lets say 45-ish... I though, "Well, I'm out in the country, might not be many young people" and I felt good. Then I got to work and mentioned voting and 1 person said they either did vote or intended to and he was in his 50's. Now I'm a bit worried because I work with about 40 is or so people my age or younger. And I'm only 33.

What is wrong with my generation? Nobody cares about there community anymore. These same people turned out in droves for the 2004 presidential elections. Am I crazy or do the local politicians actually affect each of our lives more that the president does. Yeah, he makes the big decisions like War and spying and those things, but who makes decisions like which roads get fixed, or other more important issues that effect your daily lives? The local officials do. How can we change the world if we don't change our back yard?

Just a thought...
