Government

8 weeks ago my adventure into how our government was/is designed and how it operates began.  Man what an adventure it is, every day is between a half to a full chapter of information. and there are so many terms and little details to pay attention to, it is difficult to keep up with whats what.  we just started to cover the voting process and everything has gotten a thousand times worse!! between the shifts from congressional caucuses to primaries and how these changes have caused shifts and alterations in the system has me even more totally confused.  From all this confusion i have learned why our teacher has continually said younger people do not vote nearly as much, and that because it is too freaking confusing what you would be voting for and what the person in said position would be able to do to make your life or community better.  So as of now i am happy with the one thing i have learned and will just try to keep my head above water with the rest of it.
