Good luck, C. While I expect a monstrous demonstration is unlikely, maybe at least some industrious few will summon the energy to vote in such a way as to bring the war to a close sooner. While there are other problems in your country, this war is certainly the ugliest.
Man I could write a book on this sentiment and it's accompanying depression. But I won't. It is hard to keep momentum going and spotlight on something happening literally on the other side of Earth. Intellectually we know there is a war on, but emotionally since we are not confronted with the hardship and emotional trauma that war daily inflicts on those around it, it is easy to forget and dismiss things as not as important as last night's American Idol. After all, the war will still be there tomorrow.
Right now my focus is laser-tight on immigration. Even tho I am half white, and obvious a US cit, I have plenty of cousins who are fully spic and look it, and the amount they get harassed on a daily basis 30miles outside of SF is ridiculous. My one cousin, I think I told you before, has been arrested like 4x for speaking spanish to a cop aka "suspicion of illegal status".
I would pay attention, but the congress ate my homework and I think they got me pregnant while doing so so I haven't paid much attention to that whole, uh, war thingie.
