“It’s important for all of us to be aware of what’s going on. I know it hurts to pay attention. Sometimes you’re like, “I don’t want to think about this crap.” For young people, especially, it seems like politicians aren’t speaking about our lives. But Kerry is passionate, and he’s trying to get young people to pay attention, so that’s pretty cool. He understands that we need to do more to improve education. So many dollars have been taken out of the schools under Bush, and they just get worse and worse.

To me, Bush comes off like a person reading a script. I thought his response to September 11th was very insincere. The entire time, he seemed disconnected, like he didn’t experience the same thing the rest of us experienced. He rushed into the war in Iraq abruptly, like a boy playing with a truck: “This is my truck! You stepped on it, so I’m throwing your truck out the window!” It wasn’t handled the way a real adult would handle a situation.”
