In monday's class Rab told us things about elections and also some storys about nationality. I was surprised that the percentage of the people who didn't/couldn't vote was more than the people who voted for Obama. I wouldn't surprise if it was said that Japan is so, but to hear that the US is so was surprising. I had a preconception that the US is a more like democratic than Japan (what can we say when its not democratic?) . In 2 years I would be able to vote, but I don't know if I should when there aren't any good candidates. What is the best thing to do when we don't have any candidates that we want to vote for? I wonder if there are any politicians that can make the people move when they are kidnapped, like the video Rab showed us.
BIG NEWS!
HATOYAMA RESIGNED!! (6/2)

There were many people which voted for him, but now nobody tries to stop him from resigning. I think this happens because the people doesn't vote for the very person they want to. I think if we vote for someone then we have some kind of responsibility to be with them. I won't say to go in the wrong way with them, but I think bashing them like the media and saying "I'm disappointed"is not a good idea. We should think critically and find out what wasn't good and try not to make a mistake next time.I think if we only attack the person it won't change any thing.
