It's weird, I'm such a basically boring, conservative person that it's bizarre to have it sinking in that even MY far-from-swinging lifestyle is looked at as outside the norm, if not beyond the pale, by these would-be leaders (or at least the people they seem to be paying the most attention to). <br /><br />I'm well-insulated from that attitude by living here in this city, where our Dutch founders gave us this great tradition of tolerance and acceptance that lives on to this day (well, as long as you weren't trying to run the NYC Marathon yesterday - that was another story, but the runners all took the disappointment with such grace, that was really something), but during the past couple of weeks, I've been hearing those attitudes repeatedly, and they do scare me.<br />bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794351142636136626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10267465.post-69258542304542302132012-11-05T15:56:39.111-05:002012-11-05T15:56:39.111-05:00(google google google...)

I'm not sure either side is doing entirely right by we the people these days. <br /><br />Electoral college would probably allow me to do that without really making a difference. <br /><br />In reality, chances are that I will vote for Obama, same as last time though. I was actually never as disappointed in him as some people who voted for him last time have been because although I liked him a lot better than Bush, I honestly don't think that the momentum of something as big as this country can be turned on a dime. <br /><br />It's like a laden tanker coming down to the Hudson - no matter whose hand is at the wheel, change is just going to take time, and the ship can't just jump out of the channel in which it's already travelling.bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794351142636136626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10267465.post-78265748720362344192012-11-05T15:18:48.229-05:002012-11-05T15:18:48.229-05:00So......who are you voting for tomorrow?So......who are you voting for tomorrow?Baydoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00751866865203182109noreply@blogger.com
