My words of wisdom,

Ramon Godoy, Senoir at Santa Ana High School

I find that the kids today are not interested in Politics; shockingly there are many adults who also choose not to participate. Why is that? I think that society as a whole has been so saturated with the pop culture of our time; many citizen just don't care about the issues that Washington has to deal with. It is this ignorance that drives today many Americans to be oblivious of the degradation and power that is given to our government when we don't voice our opinions by voting and protesting or simply questioning our officials. Americans today are angered by thier government because they are exporting American jobs to foriegn workers. I think that the citizens of our country should worry less about poor paying jobs and get thier s**t together and send themselves to College. The era of the average american worker being able to maintain themsevles is long gone. I find it detrimental that people like to fool themselves into thinking that they will succeed in life without a college education. Our government officials should fund and build more schools, math/science camps, which will in turn produce an elite younger generation that will have the skills to compete in the world market and perpetuate our country's dominance over globalization.

I leave you now with my view to ponder and consider educating yourself about the issues that matter most to us eek cool
