Well, it all started at 10:00 this morning. I went to my polling place, where I have voted in many an election in the past, to discover the line wrapped completely around the building.
I think normally I would have been thrilled about all those folks showing up to vote. I mean in the past I could simply allocate 5 minutes to the entire voting experience including drive time...I could actually hear crickets in the voting booth.
But, I know this morning's line was full of people who had no idea why they were voting for their candidate of choice. People are buzzing with HYPE! So irritating! Does anyone do their own independent research anymore??? People seem to be making this decision completely based on sound bites and pep rallies.
Do me a favor today. When you encounter that person who is all too willing to discuss the person he voted for, ask him WHY he voted the way he did. You will no doubt get the same answers I've been getting....stupid ones. If you get, "We need change." Be sure to ask, "What changes do you expect to see?" Then, step back and watch the genius fumble for a meaningful answer. Idiots.
Well, an hour later I finally got to cast my ballot for the lesser of the two devils running for pres. Nothing like waiting an hour to vote for someone you have to hold your nose to tolerate.
Just another election day Being Billingsley...
