We can return to our usual programming and our mail boxes are not overflowing with party mail.
Unfortunately there are some who did not win and half the country felt let down.
We now know which of our neighbours are of the other party, you know from the other side of the tracks.
But on Wednesday, November 7th, 2012, life goes on.
We still bitch at the bastard in front who is travelling 5 mph when we are running late, the price of gas at the pump, running errands in five directions at a time, cleanup from Superstorm Sandy, trying to help with the cleanup from Superstorm Sandy.
Not everyone cast a vote in this elections of officials, only 65% of the eligible voting population voted.
65% is a shameful turnout in a country that has the luxury of FREEDOM.
We do not have to walk over mountains and descent valleys for days to cast a vote with a blue fingerprint.
We do not have to dodge gunfire and announce our choice by setting out our right foot or left foot.
In most cases we cast our decisions digitally, thus there should be no excuse for the remainder 35% not to participate in the fundamental rights of a citizen.
Yes dear overseas readers, there were Americans who did not vote. Only here do we exercise the interesting choice of not voting.
Freedom, some forget to cherish it.
