Growing up as a young kid I never had enough attention to share with the whole mayoral debate.
Now that I'm 19 years old and old enough to vote, you know that attention I lacked- is back.
In the social scene(i.e Facebook), the mayor race is quiet..
I'm yet to see a facebook status about it, and thats 600 people that lack interest.
I bet most of my friends know what movies are coming out and when exactly, but if I asked them who Rob Ford is, they'll raise their eye brow.
Funny aint it?
At the age of 16-20, voting seems lame, boring and time wasting. However when we grow old I'm sure that will all change due to the fact that we'll realize "hey, wait a second, my vote actually matters..this stuff is important".
I also bet the same friends who know when and what movie is coming NOW, wont be able to tell you the last movie they saw when they are 25.
Think about it.
Anyways, this post isnt about how the social scene feels about voting. It's what I think.
Do I want to vote? Yes.
Will I? If I'm not lazy.
Regardless I still have something called "hope" and I hope that our next mayor will do the right things and not take Toronto down with them.
Droppin some knowledge on through the shuttle. I think you might have missed some of the facebook mayoral race activity though.
ReplyDeleteNext time you're on facebook, type this into the search "500,000 Voters for a Rob Ford Free Toronto"
You might find something worth reading.
Wow, lots of mayoral activity, you're right.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I've become the less interested one? Theres a whole other world outside my 600 friends I guess then? aha
