I know this sounds so lame, but I really am grateful today to live in this country.
I live in a country where I am both allowed and encouraged to vote--a country in which I am, at the very least, made to believe and to feel that my vote counts. I live in a place that not only embraces democracy but celebrates its inherit value. And, although I am not proud of our "spreading it" to places where its practice may not be ideal, I am proud of our own representative democracy.
It had to be said.
And no, despite this entry, I am neither a conservative nor a Republican.
I'm a registered Independent and I will, after careful consideration, vote for Obama tomorrow.
