I am quite possibly the worst Political Science major I know. I say this for several reasons: I do not read any newspaper regularly, I do not keep up with the nation's newest scandals, I have chosen to pursue very little knowledge on the world around me. So why am I a Political Science major? I am fascinated by America's system of government. I love comparing what our system is supposed to look like with what it has evolved into. However, I believe that an active knowledge of today's political scene is absolutely imperative in order to make educated voting decisions.
I am therefore going to consider this blog a social experiment. The main point of this blog will be to force myself out of my complacency towards politics and into a position of not only being politically educated, but also able to intelligently communicate my thoughts on today's political happenings. I hope to go from a political "church house mouse" to an active member in today's discussion of political and social events that will eventually shape our nation's future. Wish me luck!
