Voting...

Sometimes I wish my vote "meant" more... in MA, the Democrat will almost always win (unless we're talking governors). However, I felt pretty good today when I threw in a couple of votes for the green-rainbow party, the working families party, and the socialist party. Why not? If they don't win, their only opponents were Democrats. I can live with that. It's nice to be able to throw in some votes for other candidates and express a desire for a more than two party system.

I REALLY hope we come out headed towards change. I can't handle another two more years of this - people dying, average salaries decreasing, and nature being treated like a dumpster. We've got a hopefully celebratory party planned at our house tonight. Can't wait to see the results!

oh - and why don't some people vote? Everyone didn't even have the right to vote in our country until the 1960s - is that so long ago that we don't remember what it's like??? I feel like it's a major snub and disservice to those in the world who don't have the right... then again, we're so wasteful with resources, food, and the environment that I guess it's really no surprise. Apparently even the right to vote isn't all that noteworthy.
