I’m 25, but I’d like to believe that I am well informed of the things that go on in the world and that I’m pretty mature. Being that I am still in college and I work in a very young company, I’m surrounded by people that are younger than me.

I was sitting minding my own business when I overheard a VERY annoying conversation. Here’s how the conversation went:

Guy: Who are you voting for?
Girl: Obama.
Guy: Oh.
Girl: Why? Do you want McCain to win?
Guy: Yeah. Why?
Girl: You’re such a racist. Just because you’re white, you’re going to vote for the white guy.
Guy: No. That Palin chick is hot!
Girl: Well I’m just tired of old white men running our country.

The whole time, I’m sitting there biting my lips to not say anything. Seriously? What does any of that have to do with anything? I can’t stand all of the people who are finally paying attention to politics just because there’s a hot chick running for VP and a black guy running for President. It’s good that they are atleast registered to vote, but they aren’t paying attention at all to the issues!
