Tomorrow is election day. And it's a big one. But for American's they ALL should be big ones. This year's have been particularly contentious. In some ways, this is certainly healthy. Debate is one of the cornerstones of American democracy. However, most of us have never witnessed a more bitter, angry, and vitriolic political season! This is, indeed, the "winter of our discontent". And I think that voting your conscience is the way to express your dissatisfaction. I would strongly suggest, though, that you do not allow anger, fear, and disillusionment to triumph over good sense and honor. As the director Spike Lee conveys in his seminal film, "Do the Right Thing": do not let emotion prevent you from doing what you know is, ultimately, the right thing.
So, get out and VOTE - DAMN IT!!
