Everyone is very fired up today. It is exciting, as I have said before, I love people that are passionate. But I’m not that passionate about this. (shhhhh, don’t tell anyone, I might get jumped in the law library). Don’t worry, I took a couple of hours out of my life and the lives of a couple of complying friends to drive to Augusta and participate in early voting. I kinda wish I was registered in Athens, because they seem to have a lot more things to vote for. Augusta didn’t have that many, and about half of the people I voted for didn’t have anyone running against them. The only big thing in Augusta was the SPLOST part of the ballot. Another reason I need to get registered in Athens is because I don’t know what is going on in Augusta. I voted against SPLOST because my good friend’s parents had VOTE NO TO SPLOST! all over their yard and I noticed it on the way to the poll (that and the fact that I didn’t think they should turn regency mall into a sports complex, we barely use the civic center as it is).
I know it is amazing that I am discussing local politics when I should have lots to say about the presidential election just like everyone else. But, in my opinion, there is no way to know what will happen either way. I’m not educated in political science enough to make intelligent comments about the possible ramifications of the decision, either way. I am glad that people care, I do think it is important. I like being around people with strong views, both sides. And I have certain strong views. But I can’t say that either candidate shares all, or even most of my strong views. Don’t worry, I voted, but I didn’t enjoy it.
the thin line between optimism and delusion...
