Voting

Lesson 27: Those who don't vote can't really criticize, at least, not with any authority.

Tomorrow, many of us WILL vote (with the possible exception of those who have waited in vain for counsel from their favorite pop icons). Every election is characterized as "significant," but this one could actually impact life as we know it. There is such a dichotomy in this country that any change in leadership and/or philosophy is bound to cause someone some consternation.

Unlike the people of many countries, though, we will not riot in the streets. Most demonstrations in the past have been non-violent, and the major factions which are likely to be unhappy have such words as "peace" and "Christian" and "pro-" in their titles. That bodes well for a calm primary election.

Choose well, and God bless America.
