E-Day

The long national nightmare is finally over.  Today, each American gets to make the decision which defines a democracy.  To participate in the governance of our country or cede that right to others who make the time and effort necessary to be citizens.   The Divine Mrs. M and me are political junkies.  We have contributed to campaigns and I have worked for a few, so we can't really understand someone who opts out of the democratic process by not voting.  The lame excuse that "My vote doesn't count" is the self serving whine of someone who really doesn't believe in his or her fellow citizens.  If we don't take the time to be fully engaged in the democratic process, we can't complain when it is hijacked by those who hate it.  But enough of pontification.  Get out and vote.
