Topic of today's post? Exactly what the title is.
Her first blog entry was a rant about what to think about before voting in November. This should be interesting. Mainly because throughout high school, I became more moderate conservative and she's ridiculously right wing. Like, hxc conservative. It's that whole thing where the youth of America are more liberal than our older counterparts. I guess it's true. High school made me see that I can't be close-minded towards other people's beliefs. I still hold true to my own, but it's not a bad thing to learn about others. It's healthy to question yourself and your beliefs every once in a while.
So, whereas I've had four years to really cement my political views, she's had thirty-something years. It would be hard to get her to change her ideals now. But mine can easily be changed. I'm still questioning myself.
Which is probably why I hate watching the news with my mom. She always comments and it seems so narrow-minded to me, that I just get irritated. I happen to love watching the Colbert Report with her because he makes fun of people like her, but she can still laugh at it.
Colbert brings politically diverse families together.
That's it for this entry. I'll have another one today. I have to keep up my pattern of 3-5-3-5-3-5. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check my archives.
