This Is It!

Well kids, tomorrow is the big day when we all get to exercise our right to vote. I registered to vote this year for the first time since 1990 (see, I am an old curmudgeon). I have maintained for several years now that we do not need a third party in this country, we need a second party in this country. We have been fed a steady diet of "Republicrats" for too long now. But this year, I had to register in order to vote against Bush.

Do you know the difference between an optimist and a pessimist? The optimist says that this is the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist is afraid that the optimist is right. -- Dr. Hobson (one of my philosophy professors)

I tell this little joke only to say that I am not necessarily optimistic for the future, irregardless of who wins.
