this was the fall session, right when the whole McCaine / Obama stuff was heated up.

Every class opened with a 15 - 20 minute BS session about why us kids need to vote for Obama, or why us kids need to vote for McCain.

now... i walked into that class at nearly 30 years old, so i didnt care for the down speak.

secondly, most of those kids i shared the classroom with were not 18 or 19 years old and have not learned about the world around them yet.

i would wager that the drive across town to get to the campus was probably the furthest they had ventured out into the world.

i didnt appreciate the attempt to sway these kids in either direction by professors and found it to be disturbing and unprofessional, i got the feeling that "most of you are too young to make the right choice so im going to help you make it."

aside from that, most of those voting age kids were so wrapped up in their naivety that they actually believed the whole Hope and Change crap!!!

personally, sometimes i think you should have to be over 25 to vote.

some of those kids, fresh out of high school, some of them i swear to God could barely read... let alone help decide the direction our entire nation should take for the next 4 years.

One of them was reading the preamble to the constitution aloud and couldn't figure out either how to pronounce Tranquility... nor articulate a response as to what the word actually meant!!!

If I paid for a class and the instructor did a 15-20 minute campain speech for either canidate I would want my money back.
