When I was in elementary school I recall there were elections for student council. I also recall that the 8- through 10-year-olds that were running promised big changes so that we'd vote for them. It was a non partisan system where students were able to freely suggest ideas and have them made into policy. So one of the 10-year-olds running for student council president stated in her campaign speech that she would make sure that recess was extended for an extra half hour and that the drinking fountains that spouted water would instead dispense various soft drinks. Of course this never actually came to fruition - the other guy won.
My question is: what campaign promises would you like to hear come from the current presidential candidates and which would you like to see realized?
I'm still holding up my soda-drinking fountain flag. I'm also hoping that recess will be extended at work an extra thirty minutes to a total of thirty minutes.
