Why Talk Politics? Well for me...

I was never really the one interested in politics. Heck! I didn't even know the difference between a Democrat and Republican other than they were rival parties. The reason I chose politics as a topic was probably because of my sparks of interest last year. Last year their was two main reforms that seemed to make or break everyday teenage life. One of them was a censorship of the internet. I remember emailing my senator saying things such as it takes away "freedom of speech" and "freedom of person" all together. My  senator emailed me back and we began to chat on different bills that were going to be passed. And when our generation seemed to win the battle of the internet, another one rose. College loans. I don't know many high school who are not going to be plagued by college loans. Unfortunately, our country wanted to raise the price which I was outraged by! I think the thing about politics is we all push it away figuring it really does not cross our lives that often, but the truth is politics is an important and present part of each and everyone of our lives.
