If you’re a movie aficionado, then you know what I’m talking about. If you’re not, then look the title up. Any correlation to this article? Kind of.

A group of college-aged students go into a seminar at Harvard University with someone speaking about a software program that he created out of his dorm room while at Harvard.

Now if you have any inkling of who went to Harvard, you’d realize Bill Gates was speaking and would have judged the student as an imbecile.

I hear and read quite often that less than half our generation will vote in the upcoming election, compared to 72 percent of our parents. Really? I know why we don’t, but it doesn’t excuse it.

You’re lazy. You see, most of our generation doesn’t like accusatory, blunt statements. That’s why most of you don’t like Trump. Really? So you’ll watch the Kardashians or some other reality TV. show, but Trump offends you?

Okay, Trump says some outlandish crap, I don’t deny it, but you can’t deny that the reason why a lot of people like him is because he’s not politically correct. He’s blunt. He tells it how it is… and he goes after everyone who attacks him, including his own party. Now that’s not the best thing to do, but that’s the main reason why people cling to him.

I think people cling to Hillary for different reasons. She’s the opposite of Trump in almost every measure. She’s a career politician with a lot of baggage, if not more than Trump. She’s progressive on almost every subject and she doesn’t say anything that isn’t politically correct, that is if you happen to disregard all the wiki-leak e-mail dumps from the Clintons. Part of the reason why people liked Bernie so well is because he, whether you like to admit it or not, was similar to Trump in that he was not your ‘typical’ career politician like Hillary is.

There’s no doubting that both candidates are subpar, so why vote? What possible difference can you make? Many think that their vote doesn’t count.

I’d like to think I’m a patriotic American and that voting is part of my duty. I’d like to think that every time I see soldiers in their uniforms that I support them in my duty to vote, that what they do is not for naught. I’d like to think being a citizen of the greatest nation on earth entitles me to certain duties and expectations. If you’ve ever travelled abroad and have seen other nations, there’s no place like the United States. Europe is no America. Russia, China, the Middle East are no places that a normal American would recognize.

The U.S. is the freest, most progressive nation on earth. Don’t believe me? Travel, read, and talk to immigrants. They will tell you why they came here and why they love this country, sometimes more than us natural born citizens.

Who am I though to encourage my peers to do something as simple and noble as voting?
