Four weeks of class, one week of finals. One day of graduation. Later that day… get out. Residence halls close at 5 p.m. Then five weeks of I have no idea what followed by marriage.
So what do you think about Iowa legalizing gay marriage? Crazy, huh?
I think I would like to say something about our legislative process. Do you know what to do in case of a legislative emergency? Do you call 911? Do you go to your local coffee shop and complain?
I think that the public part of our local governments (State most specifically) is getting lost in our digital age. I wonder how many Ball State students know how to contact their representatives. I wonder how many general citizens know how, or who to contact. I would be willing to bet that most people care or don’t think it matters. I think it matters. I think that our elected officials should be nothing more than a vehicle for popular opinion. They should be able to sacrifice their own opinions for the public’s desire.
This is why I could never be a politician.
One more note, make sure to vote for one of our own, Lisa McDonald, as “coach of the year – rising star assistant”
Be awesome to each other… and matter.
