Well, I voted today. Hopefully my vote will be worth something. We will find out. I was a little ashamed of my town. I asked, because I wanted to know, why they didn't ask for my ID. The answer I got was harsh. "Because we put an X on your name and we know that you voted." "We trust that you are who you say you are." I replied that I could be someone else voting for Jennifer, and they responded, "We put an X so that means that you have voted. Geesh!" So now that my name has an X, I have been trusted so therefore, my vote is legal. Somehow, that doesn't sit well with me. Call me a pessimist, but I don't trust everyone in this world. I am very skeptical. Sad to say. But whoever wins, God is ultimately in control and He already knew the outcome before anyone of us. I will put my HOPE in Him.
I am ashamed of people in this country who treat people that don't believe the same way as them with unkind words and actions. This is still a free country and that is a right that no one should belittle. That is what gets my blood boiling! I have every right to believe the way that I do and so does Joe Smoe out on the street. That is the joy of living in this country. I teach my children that it is great to have your own views and so what if it is different from someone else's. Stand up for what you believe, but treat the other persons feelings and beliefs with respect. I am saddend by the lack of respect between people in this country.
But, I look forward to the future and hope that whoever wins, can fix this country and make us strong again.
