Furthermore, I do believe that only an educated person could make a fair and logical choice when they vote for President. Should you need a certain level of education to vote? Or, perhaps be required to pass a test on basic American Government before casting a ballot? That is probably another issue.
That being said, I am becoming less interested in politics as the days pass. I am perhaps like most Americans nowadays who have all but given up on politicians to solve our basic problems. However, one thing that I haven't given up on yet is the American people. Through education and web sites like this, perhaps people like us can in fact make a difference.
Anyhow, come 2008, I will probably make the best logical choice that I know how to make. I will simply write in the candidate whom I believe is the best choice for America. . . . ME!   Be still, and know that Dog I am.
