STOP APATHY

I also have this incredible issue with apathy. The government is a pretty powerful little mechanism but it is supposed to generate its power through the will of the people. Our apathy can translate into many things. For instance, our vote for President Obama can be interpreted as a massive "YES" to democratic policies. Constitutional elections, per se... if I may channel my inner Con Law Professor Schnably. 

Did we just swing the white house into a more populist, grassroots, socialistic realm? Our apathy became dangerous when people actually  selected a president based on rhetorical phrases such as Hope, Change, and garbage like that and selected a president largely based on race. It is DANGEROUS when you do not vote on issues and you do not look at a candidate's resume and his YouTube clips!

I understand voting for a democrat, I understand voting for your policies. I do not understand voting on race and voting on class. 

I do not believe this man was ready and I believe he is too idealistic. Let us hope these changes are not so monumental and lasting. I hope it unites the conservative base and a few of those on the fence voters that literally voted based entirely on racial factors (you know who you are!)
