Entry: Family and Politics Thursday, October 07, 2004



So... with the upcoming election everyone wants to talk about politics, and at the same time many things in the Traeger household are not being said.  I am registered, but of course I don't consider myself a Democrat nor a Republican.  My mother considers herself a Republican, but she's completely clueless.  I think the only reason she is a Republican is because her grandfather was an a Republican and most of the rest of her family is also, but she herself has no clue of what is really going on in the world.  I don't think she has ever voted.  I don't know what exactly my dad's political views are other than he said he will pick the lesser of two evils.  I have exactly the same views, but I cam elaborate a little more.  My sister is a democrat as far as I know...  Unfortunately the vocal parties (or... party) in the house is/are the most uneducated about issues, and whose opinions are unfounded and definitely not concrete.  The quite folks are probably very smart and have arrived at their opinions through their own ability to analyze what they hear and see.  Good thing they are the only ones voting.  My mom refuses to register to vote because she "doesn't want to be called for jury duty." That is the excuse of lazy asses.  As you can tell, I am a little annoyed when it comes to mixing Mom with politics.  I don't really have a problem with her being Republican, but I do have a problem with not thinking for herself.  I choose not to disclose whom I plan to vote for, nor do I plan to disclose the inner workings of Miss Kristin.  I just needed a little outlet and for the few of you who read this, I hope you will at least think for yourself if you do not vote.  Oh yeah... I know this is a bit of a subject change but I just saw a commercial for the Forgotten. I saw it and I must say that movie fuckin' sucked.  If you haven't wasted the $8.  I am going to ruin it for you.  You  never find out who "they" are and if you watched the commercial, you've seen the movie.

I am so excited to go to Memphis tomorrow, I have all the places we're going mapped out :)  I suppose it would be considerably more fun if I had money and drank, but I will have fun considering I am no fun.  Ah well, such is life.
