So, what I am saying is that I often vote for thing thing that is going to require more money from me. Because it's the fucking right thing to do as a member of this country that I do love.
I just had to put this there because yes, exactly.
Which is why I read through all the propositions, and sometimes vote for stupid ones, because I think they are best for the human race.
If I thought voting was all about me the world would be very different. As in more, pie, more kitties, less pollen and possibly a dimmer on the sun some mornings. and no talking before 10am . Less complaining.
Beth, I love your last paragraph. :-)
this is what I'll be watching instead of the election

It looks like my friend's pie business will get a chance to grow
I will be talking pie
I think Marine One just flew over. That was LOUD.
I make my crust by hand, using a dough cutter, which IMNSHO is the way to go. I was baking at mom's house last year, she doesn't have a dough cutter, so I used the food processor instead. Crust was fine, but a hand crust is better. Mine is flour, butter, salt, sugar, and water. I can do it in my sleep.
Pie crust is simple, but mine is often inconsistant. I don't always pay attention. I need to rember 1) cold and 2) rest and let it hydrate.
Pie is good to think about when you aren't sleeping
GRONK. AWAKE AT 4 AM. WHYYYY? (KHHHHHAAANNNN!)
Need all the coffee. But can vote at 6! Upside?
On voting for the good of the country: A very conservative professor at my uni told me the other day that his/her vote would be for Obama because his positions on social justice issues . Clearly s/he has issues with abortion and same sex marriage, but s/he couldn't throw the poor under the bus to get there. It was a jaw dropping admission.
GRONK. AWAKE AT 4 AM. WHYYYY? (KHHHHHAAANNNN!)
Because Ohio is under the control of the Weeping Angels! Every time you blink they disenfranchise a gay female unionised auto worker! (The same worker. She's really getting sick of it.) STAAAAY AWAAAAAKE!!
I'm up at 3am. Sammy is congested and can't sleep and I'm nervous about tomorrow. Why dad asked me tonight why any woman would vote for Romney. Good point, I said!
Anyway, back to getting Sammy to sleep....one day more! (I hope!!)
eta; Sparky, that's impressive. My church has several people motivated by justice issues although I think they are mostly just liberal.
