Election Day
Voting is an interesting process that both unites and divides Americans. We fume and pout, we flip and flop. Some of us adhere faithfully to a party line while others of us repeat that old joke about not wanting to belong to any club that would have us.
I'll be working at a polling place today for the third time. I'm learning something new each time—about people, about issues, about dignity and about freedom. Mostly I seem to be reminded again and again that, in spite of all the talk about politics and pork and lobbyists and cronyism, there are still a lot of people working to make America a better place.
