Being a student at GW goes hand-in-hand with tough decisions. Whether those decisions are what to wear, what to eat -or rather what not to eat- to go to K. Street or Lotus, these decisions make the life of the typical GW student difficult.However, maybe it is time that we as students step away from the false idea that we have a hard life and hard decisions to make, and for once make a choice that matters beyond our 10 square block world. What we are referring to here are the 2008 elections.Halfway around the world in Bosnia and Chechnya and Rwanda, they dream of the promise we fulfill every four years, of a future we chose, for ourselves, together. And so it is our responsibility to not only ourselves, but to the citizens of those countries to vote and participate in the electoral process.We urge all of our readers- friends, enemies, or otherwise, to vote and make your voice heard. No matter if you are choosing between Senators Clinton, McCain or Obama, or Governor Romney, it is a vote for the future, and a vote for change.Can anyone remember the words of John Kennedy in his inaugural address? He said, “Let the word go forth from this time and this place that there is a new generation of Americans…” What our staff would like to say is, ‘Let the word go forth from this time and this place that there is a new generation of GW students who care about their futures and are fighting to make the world a better place, no matter they get in return.”Vote or Die
