Do you think Martin Luthor King actually changed anything? If it was just a bunch of people demanding change, without a leader, do you think the outcome would be the same, or do you think things would be the same now as it was then? If you think they would, then do you think hippies changed anything in the 60’s?
However you look at it, things changed when Martin Luthor King stood up and spoke, also when hippies took the stage at Woodstock. It may not have changed the way they had wanted, but it did cause change. We are at another pivotal point in history, one where change is drastically needed. The financial situation in this country is horrible, the oil prices are ridiculously high, and the healthcare system needs a serious overhaul. It is time for a change. A lot of people are looking for that change in the most obvious of places, a different kind of president. Obviously the only election right now is between gender and race. When people want change they go for the most superficial way of getting it, and right now that way is to elect something different as president.
I know I have been endorsing Obama and I still think he is the best person for the job, but listening to Hillary lately and to what Obama has been saying about Hillary’s proposals, Hillary doesn’t seem as bad as I thought. I don’t think that she is the best person for the job because she closely resembles the republican party. I also believe that the world is in a much different place than when her husband took over and she would try and get it back to the way things were by doing the same old thing, which I don’t think would work in this case. We need new ideas, from a person who hasn’t been there long enough to be corrupted.
The choice is yours, and if your state hasn’t yet voted then I strongly suggest you go out and vote. If your state has voted and your candidate is loosing, or might loose the election, don’t switch to the other party. Mccain is just like Bush and will keep the same policies in effect. Do you want four more years of the same old things? Four more years of things being horrible for us Americans?
