A-political opinions?

Social networking sites like Orkut offer a great chance for doing some random analyses of poeple's opinions about what's going around. A general thing that I have observed -and not just on social n/w sites - is how few people have, or choose to express, a poltical opinion. Most people say they are not political or simply refuse to answer. Within their groups, friends talk about a lot of stuff, but very rarely politics. I myself can't remember having an interesting political discussion with my friends in a long time, mainly because they have been cut short by a severe lack of interest. That can mean two things - people are largely indifferent or simply confused. The former case is particularly worrisome. After all, we the youngest of voters, have to bear the politicians the longest. These guys are the one's who eventually decide what taxes we pay, what is taught in our schools and colleges, how the job market will be when we graduate, our nation's defence ...and a whole lot more. So why this indifference? Even if its because there's no one really good enough (which is very true today) then you got to at least go with the ones that are the least bad. There was even talk going on about having an option of "None" on the ballot. However, if its because you don't follow political news, you are doing yourself and the country a disservice. You are then, being ruled over by people who were chosen by someone else. I for one, was very excited when I got a chance to vote for the first time. However that excitement doesn't seem to spread what with just about half the people, especially in urban areas, going out to vote. I still believe that the political situation hasn't gone irrecoverably bad , but only if more people at least take interest and shed notions of "What's my one vote going to do". Go on, have an opinon and express it.
