Chicago Elections
Voter turnout was traditionally low in Chicago's city elections on Tuesday February 27,2007. I don't understand why people don't vote. If you don't vote, you can't complain. People running local government directly impact your life dramatically more than on the national level but few people seem to understand that concept.
I did write myself in for one position. Any time someone runs unopposed, I write myself in. There should at least be a choice for all positions.
Rants, raves, readings, and talks about things I read, see, watch, run over in the road, believe, don't believe and whatever else might be on my mind. I'm blogging because blogs are no longer cool. They're not cool any longer, right? I should be tweeting now. Let me know when that isn't cool and I'll start doing it.
