Quote:Back in High School I was definitely very left leaning. During the 2004 election I wanted Bush to lose more than anything. Back then it seemed like the majority of young people were, it was just the thing to do and logic and reason had very little to do with that decision. My school even had a debate where two students assumed the roles of Bush and Kerry and even though the student who played Bush slaughtered Kerry we all still supported Kerry. Students who supported Bush or were conservative were considered ignorant, stupid, and closed minded and overall thought of as terrible human beings. It's funny though because we all took Civics and American Government where we learned about the Constitution, yet we thought less of those with different opinions, a little hypocritical I would definitely say.

 

Now that I am older more mature and have experienced life to the point where I have people who depend on me and I have to pay taxes, it is very hard to support anything that the left proposes, perhaps a few social issues but fiscally, absolutely nothing.
