My statement on today's election

[minicoop1985]

That is all. Carry on.

Realizing how many unthinking people in this US just damn depressing.
Not thinking, not having a reason to act, just reacting out of emotion.

At extreme risk of escalating this thread into the dreaded "political" realm, I will say that I am quite happy with my choice, and am voting with a very positive attitude for the better choice.

It's like Canon vs Toshiba cameras ...

No I think it isn't.
Squashing this election into a camera oriented simile diminishes its importance.

Vice is a monster of so frightful mien, / As, to be hated, needs but to be seen,” the poet Alexander Pope wrote, in lines that were once, as they said back in the day, imprinted on the mind of every schoolboy. Pope continued, “Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face, / we first endure, then pity, then embrace.” The three-part process by which the gross becomes the taken for granted has been on matchlessly grim view this past week.

I'm sorry, but no politics here. Gotta shut 'er down before the envelope gets pushed any further.
