Be Like Avocado
6/11/12 05:43This morning Becca goes off at Oh-God-Thirty (that's 6am to the non-teenagers in the house) to be a poll worker. She'll be there all day, until 9pm. She's really excited about participating this way (since she can't participate by, like voting, being only 16 and all). I am proud of her.
So in her honor:
Vote.
Vote your conscience, vote your dreams, vote your ideas.
This country gives you much (no, not talking entitlements). Give back this one thing: your vote.
Vote. Because in another time or another place you might not have been permitted to. Vote for those who could not or cannot.
Vote. For yourself.
Just vote, dammit. If for no other reason than that all the passionate 16-year-olds can't this year.
