Exercising my rights today

Today, in the United States, is election day... and as I walked the half mile to my voting locale, I couldn't help but notice the utter lack of droves of citizens acting upon not only their right, but their duty as citizens. Granted, here in PA, there were no Congressional or Legislative people on the ballot, it was, in fact quite a local deal with some state judicial seats... but that in no way negates the importance or significance. In fact, you would think you would be more apt to vote locally than not.

The only thing I felt badly about was that in my reading and researching and cramming like a undergraduate these last few weeks to learn about the issues in my area, who the candidates were and making as best a choice I could given what I know... I missed some of the judges and wasn't able to fully make a vote on all parties involved.

So here's what I'm saying... if you did not vote today, don't tell me how I don't support our troops because I don't agree with our current bomb first, ask questions never foreign policy. If you didn't vote today, get your flag out of my face. Just because I vote doesn't mean I believe in your red, white and blue false prophet. And speaking of prophets, I don't care if you voted today or not--keep your religion to yourself.
