It was unfortunate to hear, when I went into my voting centre late at 7pm, that I was the only 18 year old they had seen all day. I know for a fact there are a lot of idiots in my age group, however, I also know plenty that are intelligent and did go out to vote.
I say this because I overheard a few adults today speaking about kids my age not knowing jackshit (it was actually a heated exchange; didn't take part) about our political system, and it really does irk me when the "new" generation is being constantly blamed for not being more involved. How about blaming age groups of my brother (late 20s) and his friends who all decided not to go vote because they were simply disinterested? How about my soccer teammates (most 30+) who simply shrugged and laughed when they saw how serious I was?
