Once again another Mid-West college student on the boards, and like the original poster, an admirer of political science. Im an education major with emphasis in social studies (poly sci and geography)

I grew up below the poverty line with two brothers (under a single mother) but we lived in a small midwest town just south of a major city, so around christmas time we always had boxes of food from various community service organizations on our doorstep...not to mention, we always were getting assistance in some way outside of the christmas spirit.

Anyways, my love for Political Science has always been unnoticed until i took a few college courses. There are two courses that stand out in my mind as absolutely wonderful. The professors truly loved what they taught, and both were highly intelligent (one has 3 doctorates and is past retirement age but loves what he does...hes also a millionaire i assume from the companies he has told the class about. He is also a political advisor for BOTH major parties. And the other professor holds 2 doctorates and always talks about his rock band in the 80's. He never mentioned his previous schooling and i found out when i searched his name on my campus home page.)

Anyways, after the longest () ever, these two professors have totally brought down every pre-concieved notion i have had about politics. A former anarchist/punk/uninformed, uneducated imbicil, i have completely changed my ways of thinking. Im no longer an anarchist...in fact its embarassing that i ever bought into such nonsense (fucking SLC PUNK coupled with my youth...).

Im sorry im all over the place with this, but what im comming to say i guess im a left wing thinker, with no party identification. Im not quite a socialist, democrat, republican, or anything else of that matter, but i wouldnt call myself a true and loyal independent either.

I guess when it all comes down to it there is no 'right' way of thinking. Every form of government is truly an experiment that is being tested by time. The horrifying truth is, America has the oldest democracy/republic of any ever known. As an average, most democracies last for around 200 years (cited from my poly sci book), so it is interesting to watch a country with a less than 50% voter turn out rate on major PRESIDENTIAL elections (congressional elections are never above the 40% turn out), take its course longer than it should have averaged. The American people dont care, and slowly and surley we have slipped to more of a representative republic, and who knows where it will go from here.
