A Democracy???

So I just went and voted this morning. 

Observation #1:
on my long winding drive to the center I go to vote, the side of the road is "littered" with signs for John Kerry, George Ross, and other people running for office in the state of Massachusetts.... also represented in the signage.... Obama.... but did I see any McCain signs... you guessed it NO. Lets try to at least pretend we believe in the system of elections people.
Observation #2:
I enjoy confrontation so I wore my "McCain/ Palin: Country First" t-shirt, and I wore my coat open and walked proud... so the stares and backhand whispers were to be expected. And shockingly enough people, there were many. I also learned a little life lesson as I went into the gym to vote... you are  not allowed (at least in MA) to wear any apparel that displays favor of a particular party or candidate into the voting booth... hence the police officer bringing me to the side and telling me to zip my jacket...  interesting!

That's it in a nut shell. No matter who you vote for, please exercise your right as an American Citizen and VOTE!!!
