Jack on voting

Jack had his first voting experience this Tuesday, and he says it was pretty boring and predictable.

Voting was so slow at his location that he actually had to squeal to wake up the person who was supposed to record his civically minded mother to vote in the primary election. After all, it was a close election so a little squealing is certainly necessary.

Jack was discouraged over the candidates not sticking to the issues, but instead resorting to smear campaigns and negative ads. Even the baby knows smearing can be effective, but it sure is stinky.


As the gubernatorial campaign field is narrowed to three, Jack hopes for more thought-provoking debates. How can we balance the penny jar? Why can't people clean up their messes faster? What must we do to keep the sidewalks in good shape for walks? ...and just how can we make milk more affordable for everyone?
