I Voted

I voted!

I so love voting. It the only civic duty I feel emotional about. I feel so happy to have the ballot in my hands. I can look at each little bubble and throw the bums out. I can ask myself, "Am I better off now, or four years ago." I can write-in Mickey Mouse, if I choose. I love voting.

I actually get a little choked up about voting, it makes me so happy. I am so thankful to our founding fathers that started up this fine republic. While they weren't quite ready for the enfranchisement of everyone, they let free, land-owning, men vote, which was a good start. It was an idea good enough to gain momentum.

I took my son Matthew to vote tonight. I remember my dad taking me to vote at my elementary school, on an old-time voting machine with levers and curtains. I sure do enjoy being able to pass on my cultural values to my children, the same way my dad did.

The turn-out tonight must have been good at my precinct as all the "I Voted" stickers were gone by 6:00 P.M.

I hope it's a clear victory for someone.

BTW, there were no lines at my precinct.
