where are the people?

Every once and a while I read something that makes me kind of laugh and get angry at the same time. I am always happy to know when journalism is being used to its fullest extent. I just read an article from a Canadian Journalist called "where are the people?". This was one of the first things that came up when I searched Honduras news in Google. Now I realize there are biases on all sides of this article. This article basically talked about how no one really came to vote and there was close to 80% of people who didn't vote because they were angry with Zelaya being kicked out of office. Now my favorite statistic in the article was when he used the statistic that only 1.7 out of 8 million people actually voted in the election. Now this sounds like a great statistic showing that people didn't vote until you actually look into it. I could also throw out the statistic that 0% of our Abundant Life Christian School students voted in this election. This is a true statistic just like the other but it fails to say that anyone under the age of 18 can't vote, this rules out all of our students. This age group makes up a large portion of Honduras. It fails to also mention that many people who are Hondurans live in the United States and also many are in jails who cant vote. Also I am sure many people didn't register themselves. I know many people who didn't vote not because they were angry about Zelaya but because they were to lazy to do it. I realize there were some people who didn't vote because they were angry about Zelaya but before you start throwing out a fact like 80% of people abstained from the voting because they were angry about Zelaya. First you better check your statistics and try to be unbiased. I drove around Tegus a lot during Sundays elections and the days before and after and very rarely saw anyone protesting on the streets for Zelaya.
