Right Wing Ogre

http://www.ottawacitizen.com/news/decision-canada/Opinion+Vote+mentality/4658160/story.html

Everyone has a right to their opinion --for now --but what kind of skewed world do you live in when you think that encouraging youth to vote in an engaging, entertaining, and dramatic way is foolish? The political parties of Canada, Conservative especially, do need to realize that youth issues, the youth opinion, the youth vote are important. I feel like the youth are at least as informed as any other voter -- we do spend quite a few hours in school honing our research skills --but it does make it difficult to make an informed decision when you are kicked out of rallies, or not even worth a visit. The youth vote should be a target of political importance, it's not as if you turn 25 and are suddenly "informed"

Short opinion: there is nothing wrong with vote mobs
