Review of Eighteen and VotingI wish I could hear more 18 year olds sound so confident and ready to vote and exercise their vote. It sounds trite - one vote, what can it do...? If a million people who say that would actually vote - things would happen for the better... Fewer wars over resources and The Great Game would start... More kids would have lunch and health care... Fewer people would be hypnotized by the media, fewer people would be hypnotized by consumerism... |
