Hmmmmm…
“Democracy is the only system that persists in
asking the powers that be whether they are the powers that ought to be.” –Sydney
Harris
Election Day is almost
here. After months of being interrupted
during dinner by computer-assisted telephone calls, it’s finally time to go to the
polls.
If you are one of the
35% of Americans who choose not to exercise your right to vote, take a moment
to ponder these peculiar points. It was
estimated that 66 million people watched the debates between President Obama
and Mitt Romney in October.
However, this
year on the lowest rated ever season of American Idol, 132 million votes were
cast in the grand finale.
Johann Wolfgang von
Goethe said, “Things which matter
most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least.” While it certainly is nice for the talented
Phillip Phillips to skyrocket to number one on America’s Top 40, the fate of
our country surely trumps his musical career.
Stand up and be
counted as one of the lucky citizens of the Land of the Free and the Home of
the Brave. Face the music. Vote.
Make this place your ‘Home’,
