Old Poll, New Poll. Sunrise, Sunset.

Just for posterity:
Should America offically mandate English as the National Language?
-Of course! And if you can't speak English, get the hell out! 4 votes
-Limiting our spoken language to English only defeats the purpose of being a culturally rich melting pot 7 votes
-...what do you mean it isn't? 1 vote
-We should throw out all languages and create a new worldwide spoken language 1 vote
Total Votes: 13

This is another Lindsay v. Berry argument. I don't hate people because they don't speak English. I also don't hate people who come to America and don't speak English. I hate the people who come to America to live and refuse to learn English. I know English is not the national language, and we will never elect it so, and I'm okay with that too. I just have no idea why you would go to another country and plan to stay there and not take the time to learn the predominate language. If you just wanted to visit and poke around, that's completely understandable, but jesus! It gets my goat.

Anyway, the new poll reflects my latest assignment in class, and not a L v. B argument. YAY!

Poll 2 Results!

Just for posterity:
What do you think of the Electoral College?
-Outdated! Get rid of it. It only causes problems. 10 votes
-Keep it! Tradition is tradition. 1 votes
-...so what is an electoral college? 3 votes
Total Votes: 14

Me and ye olde fiance (Berry) go back and forth on this subject for daaaaaaaaaaays. He firmly believes that it will set the government on it's ear if you allow the people to actually vote for what they want, because "the electoral system provides a layer of stability to the government, in times of changeover which is needed and it also represents the rights of states to continue to choose their electors how they wish and distribute those electoral votes as they see fit."

I say, this is a good argument... for the early 1800's. We've also been having this debate off and on for the past seven years. Apparently, neither of us will break.

Polls!

So, I think my first poll went okay. A new one will be up for another two weeks, so don't forget to vote!

Just for posterity:
Should literacy tests be brought back to be allowed to vote?
-Yes! Voters should be able to be informed by more than TV before voting! 3 votes
-Eh... sure voters should be more informed, but they shouldn't have to pass a test to prove it. 3 votes
-No! Bring back a poll tax too if you want to keep disenfranchising voters. 3 votes
Total Votes: 9

The reason I even bothered to ask is because I was wondering... what is worse? Someone who doesn't vote, or a voter who doesn't know what is going on in the world. I'm sure there are all points of gray areas to be covered, but I feel like an uninformed voter is worse. At least someone who doesn't vote isn't pulling something either way, but there are some jackasses that will go and vote straight ticket out of obligation and not pay attention to the world they are creating by doing so.

That felt good. I'm gonna make another poll now and then resume writing my english paper.
