Excercise your right to complain
Vote!

Issue date: 3/10/08 Section: Opinion
Yes, it's that time of the year. It happens twice a year, every year, until the day you die.
This is the day where all of us college students ask ourselves; "Hey, am I registered to vote?"
Ever since I registered to vote, I have been enjoying every second of complaining I do about our government. Voting in every election makes me feel like I have the right to be the Siskel and Ebert of politics.
Everyday I criticize our government like Michael Moore. Anytime I have the chance, I cut down George W. Bush like it's my job.
All of these actions may be considered childish to some people, but I am just exercising my right to complain.
If you think about this concept you will realize how important it is to actually vote.
Feel free to express your opinion on a daily basis. If you don't agree with our country's trade relations with China, then complain.
If you don't agree with raising taxes because of a local school levy, then vote against it and speak your mind.
So TiVo those awesome re-runs of Full House and go out and vote if you're registered. If you're not registered, then go to the license bureau and fill out a small little sheet of paper.
Go to the polls and vote for your favorite presidential candidate, and afterwards, heckle the hell out of the other one.
