Yeah, too bad voters have absolutely no say whether the country should go into
War, or even for themselves to choose to go into war, being that it is required you
register for the SSS. That's also a lame counter-argument to his stance.
His point is basically valid for many many people I've encountered since I was a
Freshman in High School. One of the only people I know who I can even begin
to have a decent political conversation with is my buddy Nathan, almost no one else
my age even cares, let alone KNOWS what is going on. Whether or not they're in a
war matters little, he's talking about people making a vote backed by good knowledge
of what's happening in their country, and how their vote will either enable a change
or progress the current stance on wards for another four years.
And he's also true that most kids back the same party their parents do, without much
thought to their actual vote.
