Just some questions, no big deal.

Why is homework the absolute hardest to commit to when you know you absolutely have to?

What exactly is causing my ADD right now?

How, then, am I in any way considered to be a good student?

What is a "good student?"

Who facilitates the dubbing of excellent studentry?

Are they the same people who elect those in and running for office?

If so, may I have these peoples' addresses?

Would they even listen to me if I asked them for a moment of their time?

These people, would they try to see eye-to-eye with me on issues such as gun-control, gay marriage (and all equal rights, for that matter), immigration, abortion, and the like?

If they refused to see my point of view, how are they then "working for the greater good?"

Would their reason for not approving gay marriage be something related to the sanctity of it and God's will?

When they go to church in the morning, do they pray for their spouses?

Might they consider that those who aren't legally allowed to have a spouse to pray for talk to God about similar things?

Might they consider that those who can't get a safe job because they're illegal immigrants (because they couldn't afford to spend the time or the money required for citizenship) have similar prayers?

Might they consider, even for a moment, that the hospitals are missing important patients, patients in need of assistance, patients without health care to back that assistance, who clasp their hands together, look up, and whimper words of the same sort?

Or do they just pray for the well-being of their family?

And what defines "well-being?"

Is "well-being" money-driven?

It's definitely money-oriented, is it not?

Our country: are we in a state of well-being?

Would someone consider us - the US - to be in a real crisis?

Really, the richest country in the world?

Billions and billions of dollars?

Really?

How can we afford a war then?

And isn't this war pointless?

Then how have we lost over four thousand soldiers already?

Is the government the reason?

Did the man who sent us in lend a personal visit to each mother, each widow, each daughter?

Did he sit there and offer them tissues and company as they wept over the loss of someone they loved more than anything else in this world?

Did he even apologize?

Can he fix it?

I mean, can he really fix it?

Can it even be fixed at all?

I'm scared, because is there even a way out?

Is there?

Is there hope?

A chance for change in this seemingly doomed "empire?"

Will voting help?

Why don't we at least just give it a try?

Can you just vote?

Just go vote... can you do that?

For the couple who can't get married or for the man awaiting an affordable medication for his illness, or the woman being asked for her citizenship papers, or the young girl who just lost her father to a pointless war, for a better, more economical, environmental, more equal life for all citizens of this said "free" nation, can you just please vote?

Will you please vote?
