1. Today in Maryland, and in 11 other states in this country we are having primary elections. Do you participate in the election process at the local level? Do you feel your vote counts? Did your feelings on this change after the last US presidential election?
I can't participate due to my citizenship status (but I would if I could). I don't think I'll feel my vote would have counted if I voted, and I thought the last presidential election was just a big circus.
2. On the eve of September 11th, is the United States in danger of losing her civil liberties? Is there some right you would refuse to give up even though it might present a security risk? Why is it so important?
There's a certain amount of risk in everything, but I'd rather be free and be out on a tree limb than safe but gagged.
3. Do you have a local issue you'd like to gripe/rant about? Go ahead spit it out?
I still have the excuse that I'm still too new to the area to be aware of any issue, but I have noticed propaganda pasted in people's front yards. And apparently, Hanover is real big on grassroots causes. The gripe is that it took about a day or three but the hot weather has followed me here. I wish it will just go away.
