IN WHICH DAVE GOES ON AND ON ABOUT THE ELECTION AND MAKES LITTLE OR NO SENSE

Hey, there's a presidential election tomorrow. And, as you may have surmised from reading between the lines of various entries over the past year or so, I'll be voting for Obama/Biden -- though, as with most things I do, with a fair amount of reservations and caveats. I don't buy into the St. Obama Will Save The World meme -- he's a politician, and will face the same obstacles and hindrances as other politicians, and I'll be happy if he simply manages to leave the country a better place at the end of his tenure than the beginning.

THE END, AND THE BEGINNING

A decisive victory. A graceful concession speech. A hopeful and forward-looking acceptance of victory. For many, a sigh of relief.

Tomorrow, we get down to the business of living together, and attempting to understand and appreciate one another, of considering our differences to be something we can learn and grow from rather than something to react to and combat.

G'night, all.
