Why would you hitch hike to Canada, when you are in the US for one of the most exciting election cycles EVER? It doesn't matter if you are old enough to vote or not. The person elected will affect your life. So you have two choices: be apathetic and ignore, or get interested and talk about it. You surely have friends who can vote. What do they think? Talk to your parents or other people. This is one of the things that is not only our right, but is our responsibility as people with the freedom to choose thier leader. Many people in the world aren't that lucky. It's easy to get spoiled, but we have already lost a lot of freedoms over the last 6 years, and I hope we don't lose more.

I think it's very hard to get young people interested in politics. First of all, you never really hear any of these senators actually talk TO the youth. There is also the problem of the youth not really knowing what is needed in life; so sometimes, it's better not to vote, than to vote just for the sake of it or to do the same as the parents just for the sake of it.

Awww, that's sweet of ya... Thanks for the advice, but unfortunately, there is a difference between getting annoying and taking things personally! When you see stupid comments, it's hard not to get frustrated; but then again, you wouldn't know
