Voting Day Thoughts

Of course, I don't agree with any of this, but it made me laugh (especially #4).  We all have voted, so that's two male votes to one very vocal female vote (Daisy and Moose are both strictly non-partisan and under 18, so they care not for this silly political season, but they would like people to know that they can be bought for a bone or two.) 

But for those of you who think that your vote doesn't matter, or that midterms are not important - a couple of years ago, there was a local school bond measure that passed by exactly 3 votes.  I'd like to think that it was the three votes from this house.  I tend to vote for all local school and library bonds, even though I won't have children, because I look at "government" not as a separate entity, but as all of us working together to get important things done that we can't or won't do separately.  We build our society by our votes, and I want an intelligent, well-read society.
