This is a comment to an article that I read yesturday on http://www.wilwheaton.net on the issue of same sex marrieges.

"I'm Canadian, and I agree with you 100% and am sure my friends and family have been subjected to my opinion on this many times over. Canada has had the same issues going on for a while now. Ontario has allowed Same sex marriages, but Ralph Klein out in alberta has the same veiw as Bush. I normal have backed Ralph Klein in most of the things he has done for Alberta and have looked past his drinking problem and other such media slashing that has been done, but why is same sex marriages any of the governments concern. Yeah I respect that Bush and Klein have an opinion and that they stand by it but that they are trying to force their opinions on others is unacceptable. The thing that worries me most about it is the fact that the youth of today don't turn out for voting like they should. That the percentage is down. So the people who do vote, like our parents and grandparents are the one's who's has the higher percentage of perticipation in voting and they are the one's who will most likely have the old school views and closed minded opinions on subjects like same sex marriages."

As the Youth of Today, we need to start taking a more active roll in the decisions that are made in the world of today, for we can make a difference, we just have to be willing to make the effort. Maybe they should start setting up poll stations on the internet, I bet a lot more of the younger population would place their votes. Use our Netfile numbers for traking or something. I'm sure it could be done. If they will let us do our taxes online, why not vote?
