And why when I was in WalMart today and asked the Cashier if she voted, she asked me "for what"? I said "President"? She said really?  I was telling her it's a important race... A woman is running and a African/American.. she said a woman is running? She said who is the woman running? I said uhhhhhhh Hillary Clinton.. she said oh, I thought I seen her on T.V. running for something. She was like I thought we vote in Nov.. Same thing happened in the 76 gas station today, I asked the owner if he voted, he was like,, uh today we are supposed to vote? How can someone miss that, someone isn't doing there job getting out information in the ways needed.. Why wouldn't walmart tell there dang employee's.. Iono bout stuff nemore.. How can people be so uninformed..  Sad but too true. I asked my class last night who had voted & only 2 of 10 had. The one non-citizen was the mot informed & said she wished she could vote. Those that have to work for their citizenship seem to make the better citizens in my view. They really appreciate the right to vote. You were in Walmart, a place known to hire illegals and you were at the 76 Gas Station, a place owned and operated by Middle Ea sterns who are usually non-citizens ..... perhaps that is why they didn't know and were not interested. The woman I had as a cashier was caucasian-hardly an immigrant, my post had ABSOLUTLY NOTHING to do with where u just took it. And just a lil added information to my initial lil semi-yap I had a full conversation w/the owner. This is a local 76 by my pad... I go in all the time. So it isn't the first time I seen his arse..  And anyways, I asked him if he votes, he said yes as if typically he does, My thought b4 was HOW DID ALL THESE PEOPLE NOT KNOW OF THIS ELECTION.... it wasnt about race/ethnic group or demographic area, I live across the dang street, and on any given day I can be Punjabi, Asian, Indian, etc... wutever LOL...  It is just about the failure of the people..? to inform those that were less informed.. |

some just do not understand how lazy the average american is when it comes to their responsibility for living in a (at one time)
free country their complacency and false sense of security has eroded the very core of the freedoms that this country was founded on |

The facts are that Walmart and 76 do hire illegals. There are Walmarts and 76's in the big shopping area about 18 miles from my home. I see the illegals there. Again, the post wasn't racist. However, it didn't get to possible facts as to why the poster encountered people at those places who didn't know who was running for president. People aren't informed about the presidential race because of apathy. Not everyone is interested in politics and follows what goes on. There have been polls/surveys where men/women are questioned and some Americans can't locate our country on a map. Some don't know who the VP of the USA is or the governor of our state. During the last election, 45 per cent of the population did not vote. That is almost one out of two people not voting. Considering this, it would not be unusual for the poster or anyone to encounter multiple people at various places who are not following what is going on in the presidential race. To test my thought process, when I went shopping at the mail tonight I was in and out of four different stores. So, I took that opportunity to ask three sales associates about their opinions on the presidential race. The first two sales associates were very pleasant. The first knew quite a bit about what was going on. The second associate knew nothing. The third associate was rather reserved and told me she doesn't like to discuss politics with customers since she works on a commission basis.

Sorry folks but i'm going to change topics on you. DO you think its possible that Hillary and Obmama might creat the dream ticket where they work together and one become vice and the other president ? If so ..what do you think would happen ? One can hope. It's what I wanted over a year ago, but I have to say I'm surprised that it's actually looking like a possibility now. |
