Hey, I'm not crazy about the Southern border situation, I'm not crazy
about the budget bloat, and the Middle East was a problem before Bush
and will be for the foreseeable future. None of this persuades me to
ignore the other issues that are still in play.
I just voted and, as has been too frequently the case, I voted against
someone, i.e., voted the lesser evil. I will continue to do so as often
as necessary, waiting for one of those rare occasions when I feel I am
voting for someone. It is my civic duty. Think of it as providing a
delaying action while the forces of civilization prepare for a counter
attack.
