Thoughts

It was a lunch hour well spent today as I headed over to the middle down the street from my house to vote in today's election. I will openly admit that I did not do my homework on my state/county/township specific elections. I waited in line for 45 minutes to fill in my vote for President and my vote on one of the proposals on the Michigan ballot. My butt had hardly hit the chair and I was on my way to turn in my ballot.

I will say one thing...well I say a lot of things...can't help it, but one thing I will say (that sounds better) is that I do feel as though I accomplished something today by exercising my right to vote. I am not a big political nut so this voting thing is not something I lost sleep over last night, but there is a definite feeling of accomplishment for having voted.

A widely held opinion on this election is that there was no better candidate, there was only a lesser of two evils. This was an opinion I share. I have come to terms with the fact that my political interest is fleeting at best, so I simply looked at the information and asked myself not "which is better," but "which isn't worse?"

I am glad I voted. It is an interesting experience.
