Political Phone Poll
I actually didn't hang up on the guy. I acutally sat there and answered the questions. In a way, it was informative. I learned what some of the city issues are. For example, fixing the storm drains to prevent local creeks from floods and revamping the police department. I wasn't opposed to the police department revamping (wasn't entirely for it either) but I am slightly opposed to the flood protection. I think there was only one day of heavy rain this past school year, and I remember that because the Valencia car port flooded, but that was Valencia's fault, not the city's.

I did find it funny when the guy asked about if I would be more or somewhat more inclined to vote on a meausre if it had an Ojectionable Bond or something as well and I asked him what that was. He said he had no idea so I told them that I had no idea. It was also funny when he was reading off the income level and he told me to tell him when to stop: [him] "$30,000 and under..$... [me]under!

But yeah, for about 10 minutes of my time (which also helped me put off studying sociology ]=) ), I got some idea of city issues. Granted I don't permanently live here but I am currently a voting citizen and I kind of felt like one tonight.
