Yes! Election day! Now, maybe my phone will get a break from all of the recorded messages and I can stop filling up our 55 gallon recycle bin with political junk mail.
As we were walking into the polls this morning with our three little kids, a man passed and made a friendly comment about bringing them along. I joked, “gotta start them early.” His response, “Well, it depends which side you are starting them early on.” Luckily, his wife punched him in the arm and told him to be quiet so I didn’t have to. Really? Not sure what his political standing is--don’t care--just think that it was kinda an a-hole thing to say. All I meant was getting them started to understand and appreciate being able to vote in this country. Puh-lease—we save the brainwashing for home! (I joke)
This is my stance: I am fortunate to live in a country where I can vote freely and for who I like (or dislike the least J). No police need to stand in the doorways to ensure my safety, no discrimination based on sex, race, religion, etc,. So, I do my part. The outcome may not be the way that I voted, but I have to respect the system and the outcome. It’s a whole lot better than some of the alternatives.
