Maybe someday when my time isn't divided between work, school, and simply living, I may take some interest in politics. |

No Mother is not happy. She is scratching her head and pondering her reply. It is time to teach Literature to the little homeschooler though. She will be back to deal with this later Anime. You're not getting off that easy.

Well, for the first time, I agree with BrainsmashR. Anime, if you have the time to get on here and post and read, then make the same time to study. You can do it!
Love, Mom |

I have a child just a little younger than you so I understand your point completely. She registered to vote as soon as she turned 18. She understands the importance of voting and I am certain that she votes when the opportunity has presented itself.
Anime, studying for deciding on who you are going to vote is not that hard. We are not talking Anatomy here or Brain surgery. You are not going to be graded on this. But this country needs each of us to do it. Now when did I first take an interest in politics? I began watching the news with my grandparents as a small child. I took a keen interest in it. I can remember watching the whole Watergate scandal and asking my grandfather all about it. I had to know all the details. I am sure that I didn't completely understand it, but I knew it was important. I have had to read the news every day since and watch it. Doesn't take long, but I keep up. When I was in high school, I remember such serious discussions with my Civics teacher about politics. I've always had the interest but it really got going when the first Iraq war began. My first husband was a Marine and was sent overseas to fight. There were demonstrations in Shreveport against the war and people fighting in it. I was only 22 at the time. I was so mad and I actively campaigned against these folks. It was during that time, as a young 22 y/o mother of two that I knew I could make a difference with my voice and my vote. And you can too Anime as a 24 y/o college student. It doesn't take much, but if each of us give something, be it a vote or even time on this board debating the issues and listening to each other and sharing knowledge, WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. |

You could relate to my sister, TBelle. She married a military man (ex marine and current army) when she was like 19. She divorced him just last year. He was nuts! He had been divorced several times before for domestic abuse. We were all wondering how crazy my sis was for even dating him.
She has a new guy now and he treats her right. She has two kids and she is going to school for comsotology. But her ex husband is still nuts. Despite being divorced, he still gets upset when my sis does anything that reminds him that she is dating some other guy. |

Key words there: Marines/Domestic issues= Divorce. Women should take notice. I am glad I got wise and got wise fast before I took to much damage.

That's something I've come to notice that a lot of young women just don't understand. The big, strong, tough guys that many girls look for often get that way through some kind of harsh conditioning that is anything but gentle on the person's temperment.

Heh....reminds me of Jeff Foxworthy commenting on women wanting a "dangerous" man. Except when they get a "dangerous" man they end up on an episode of COPS with a black-eye yelling "Lock his ass up, LOCK HIS ASS UP"! |
