My life is in full circle for sure

I just picked out my classes for next semester and figured out
what I'm going to need to get out of macomb. And really I only need
nine more classes after this semester. I'm going to take an online class
or two over the summer and then I'll be done after next year. And then I can
go on to CCS and really go after what I want to be in life. I'm very passionate about
my photography and I cannot wait to start doing what I love doing. I feel really confident in myself in getting these things done and I'm so ready for everything.

And as for voting this year, I'm not. I don't know how I'll feel about this country in four years but right now I don't really have respect for it. I go to work and I clean up the patio after a night of teenagers gawking over each other who spend 7 dollars on these frappuccinos, and leave their cups, their wrappers, their straws, all over the place. The smoke ciggarettes and instead of thrwoing the butts out they throw them on the ground. These people are so completely wasteful and it's disgusting. They can sit there and tell me to vote for this great country but they can't even respect it by cleaning up a plastic cup. I would leave if I could. This is the only country that charges people to go to school after high school. I would leave but I don't make enough money to leave and I can't get a job that pays enough for me to leave because I have to have an education to get one of those jobs. I pay for my own schooling. My mom helps as much as she can and I appreciate her greatly for it. It costs my family about $5,000+ a year just for me to go to a community college. That's nothing compared to how much debt my brother is in for going to a university. I have friends are $20,000 in the hole and they're only nineteen years old. All because they want to get a decent education. I have friends that want to go into the nurse program but can't get in because they only allow 80 people in from certain universities...yet i hear everyday how the need doctors and nurses more and more everyday and that it's a growing field. Then why can't a lot of people who are doing well get where they want to be? I feel as if though this country prohibits people from reaching their dreams. I'd vote to change these things but I don't see either canidate talking about college and the costs or reducing costs or allowing more peopel to get into these great universities. I don't like either canidate. I don't feel like either of them are going to change things very much over the next four or even eight years. So even if I were to vote I'd vote for ralph nadar and we all know he isn't going to win anyway, so no...my vote doesn't count.
To get anywhere in this county without struggle you need money. Equality does not exist. You should be able to fall in love and be in love and marry who you want when you want. But because this country has been run by ignorant crazy religous white men those rights have been taken from individuals. We are all equal we all have a beating heart and a brain and I think if we just used our intelligence instead of maniulating a mass we could finally have peace. Al gore won the last election but we are run by the republic party. I would vote but if Al Gore won the election last time but George Bush is in office now, I honestly cannot see how my vote will count.

If you're offended by this I am sorry, these are my views and people keep asking me why I am not voting. There you go.
