TV and voting

As I wrote a paper last night I was half paying attention to the Project Runway reunion special. Project Runway is one of the few unscripted television shows that I can stand to watch. I enjoy seeing what the contestants come up with each week. Will they do well? Will their designs fall apart?

This seems more original than most of the TV shows that were on during the writers' strike. This show has been around for a while now, I know. But every season people on the show create new designs and I can't help but hope that some of the contestants succeed on the show and after it is over. The people on this show are actually talented. They don't have to be pretty or fake (they can be, but it's not a must) Unlike on most reality TV shows, some of the people on this show are even likeable. Although I was a bit disappointed when Christian took the Fan-Favorite over Chris who my friends and I like the best. But whatever. I guess not everyone votes (I didn't and neither did my friends). And if you don't vote, then your voice will never be heard.

I don't blame people for not voting in the Fan Favorite contest for Project Runway. But I do think that all Americans who are of age should vote in this November's presidential election. I know I will. And I hope you do, too. The more people who vote, the more likely it is that we will have a president who represents a large population of our country (although, with the Electoral College you never know).

So, I encourage you to go out and vote in the November presidential election. If you don't you will have no say in who becomes our next president.
