Elections

This being the first presidential election that I will have a voice in, I have been paying attention to the different candidates to find which ones I think I could vote for. To be honest I have been fairly disappointed with the slate, as I really felt that there weren't any major candidates that I could vote for, leaving me with the option of trying to find and independent I agree with or not voting in the presidential election. Last week my mother suggested I at least look at Huckabee and after reading his website and looking at his position on many things I care about I think I have found someone to vote for. While he is still more fiscally liberal than I might go for, I like his stands on changing tax law, national security, and foreign diplomacy. He is also a supporter of Fair Tax which would greatly improve the tax law in this country. You should go take a look at his website.

Winter Break

Oi! its been a while. Winter breaks is over half done and I find myself looking (somewhat readily) to the start of another semester. I have been spending a bunch of time with one of my friends who just finished basic with the Air Force and has two weeks leave for Christmas. He back to tech school tomorrow, and then off to his post and new life. It is strange to see many of my friends taking off into their lives leaving me behind. Soon (or something) I will be graduating and heading off to my own life. But right now I must worry myself about more mundane things like buying books for the next semester and co-ordinating drill weekends. Here's to life dragging on.
