Civic Duties

I’ve done mine for the day. Oddly, of all the polling places I passed on my drive from Mercersburg to Gettysburg this morning only Gettysburg had no line. No. 94 and I was in and out in no time flat.

For those of you who perenially complain your vote doesn’t count, consider this: in my family our four votes almost always cancel each other out. Mine counters my brother’s while my father’s counters my mother’s. If nothing else, that’s two less votes for the old and failed versus the new and promising.

As I leave you this fine Election Day please remember, if you’re voting based on emotion don’t go to the polls. If, rather, you’re voting as a reasoning creature that has carefully considered all sides to every issue and are therefore voting Republican by all means hie thee to the polls.

And finally, two comments to mull:

Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard. — H.L. Mencken

Americans always get the President they deserve. — unknown
