db and I vote in a historically African American district, and voting day always makes me happy -- I love to see the folks come out -- though I worry about one thing: all the poll workers are getting up there in years. I think this every time I'm at the theatre (or at the Hopper exhibit), too. Where are folks my age and younger? I know they're around, but I only see the traditional supporters of voting/theatre/museums/whatever, and I worry sometimes.
I was much relieved to be voting today on school and municipal bonds and not deciding the fate of the universe as in 2000 and 2004. I simply cannot take another devastating stolen election w/o losing (what's left of) my mind. (Still not over 2000, people, and not going to get over it any time soon.)
Aww, look at patriotic me. I didn't even plan on wearing red (white) and blue. Yeah! Who's a Murka-hater now?? (Actually, we may still be, because 1) that's art behind us, and we all know what a hedonistic, corrupting influence art has on the libidos of impressionable, otherwise abstaining young folk, and 2) it's by a European artist, and we all know what lax morals Eurpoeans have (see pt. 1), not to mention they're a cowardly bunch, and 3) it's a German artist, and we all know that Angela Merkel hates dumbyass, because if she loved him like she oughta she would've let him paw all over her that time at the G8 summit (the bitch!), which just proves that women are too hysterical to be world leaders and the U.S. certainly doesn't need to listen to anyone else in the world about anything.)
