When I think of election, I think of pollution. – do you still think this one is right?
Months from now, streets will be crowded with faces of human, real or just pictures. Posters, banners, and even vehicles with loud speakers will be all over the country, all campaigning for candidates for the upcoming election, both local and national. The word “vote” will be often used, so often that sometimes it gets to our nerves. Candidates will air their campaign on national television in every unique way they can possibly think of, with or without help of any famous artist or TV icon. Flyers everywhere, posters posted on every free space. Well, Election is in the air.
When I think of election, I think of pollution. Why? Flyers will turn into trashes, and the campaigns are just noise. Anyway, that’s what I think before, when I used to not care about it.
But this upcoming election is different. I SHOULD care and MUST. I am turning eighteen before May 2010, which means that I am then allowed to practice my rights, and one of these is my right to vote. I am taking part on the election and must be responsible for it. I am already registered and the only thing I lack is my list of candidates.
Making the list is harder than filling out the registration form and waiting in line for hours. Why? Because that list contains the names of the future leaders of the country. Voters should really be careful in choosing, because at one point or another, it is the voters who set those corrupt politicians in their positions. Those corrupt politicians, who used to smile in their campaign, dance or even sing their jingle. Though, not all politicians are bad, some (or just few) are just trapped in a box when people tagged them all together as “bad”. Voters should just really search for that certain few to have favorable changes.
I think it is not too late to change the country, and is not too late to start again.
