I watched part of the vice presidential debate and as expected, many things went over my head. What happened to the political me that I was in high school. Then again, I have always been apathetic about really trying to make a difference.

As I was walking back from the supermarket today, I saw the anti-abortion people again. They were displaying the same pictures of \”dead newborns\” I had seen in Berkeley. I had seen them protesting the same thing last Sunday at the Catholic Cathedral on Fifth. It is unfair. Pictures like this bias people who aren\’t sure about abortion. I am pro-choice, of course. Why scare people like that? It just feels so wrong. As I walked, I saw a young family carrying their crying child. Would the conservative parents cover their children\’s eyes as they walk across the street? Or would these…conservatives…try to make their children pay attention – no abortion should exist, they say.

Today someone mentioned how she wouldn\’t change her life if she wanted to avoid someone. \”If I am still going to vote for Kerry, then why should I change what I want to do…because of him?\” Yes, why?
