Debating

Ok, so I stated that politics bothered me last entry.  However, there has to be a point where people say, "I need to start caring about my country."  I mean, our whole entire being is based off this system that people worked really hard to make.  Wars were fought over it and we won, which is a really good thing.  Where would any of us be today if it weren't for the political choices that have been made since then?  It's scary to think about.  Tonight I watched the vice presidential debate, which for some reason, I was actually excited to see.  Granted, today an assignment was made which forced me to watch, but I was totally planning on watching it  before that.  The thing about a vice presidential debate is that they aren't speaking for themselves.  In a way they are, because one of them will be standing up there next to the president when the day comes, but they just stood there and spoke about their presidential candidate.  I have to give both of them props though, because they were very passionate about what they talked about, and neither of them flinched.  For some weird reason, I was expecting an error and there wasn't one.  One thing that startled me was that (and I have no idea why I never thought about it before) if there ever was a moment where the president would die, the vice president would take over.  Now, I'm not dumb.  I'm aware of what would happen, but I wasn't expecting a question to be asked about it.  I guess we need to know though, what would change if the vice president were to be come the head honcho in office.  I don't know where this election is going to go from here, but hopefully everything will be okay.
