Election Day in the U.S.

[mousme]

Today, dear American friends, is the day you make history. Please remember that your voting system is believed by many to be... suspect, to put it politely, so your vote counts even more, no matter where you live or how "safe" you believe your preferred candidate to be.

My flist is filled with patriots. I know you're all going to go out and vote. Still, I feel that I can't let this day go by without cheering you on.

Go out there and do yourselves proud.

Well, really I was thinking more of ethical issues, because whether or not a person is good for the country based on where they land on the political scale is wholly a matter of opinion. And, you know, he could end up being the best president this nation has had in a long time. That doesn't make him perfect, though, or above doing what all politicians do. I mean, Kennedy is widely considered to have been a good president, but he certainly wasn't always perfectly ethical. (And I'm not even talking about his extramarital activities.)

I mean, politicians lie and engage in shady practices. That's what they do. Everywhere.
