Election Day

Some thoughts on this historic election:

-Voting Online: We pay bills online, pay our taxes online, yet we wait in line for hours on end to vote on a paper ballet. Why don't they just provide typewriters and we will vote by candlelight.

-At times it is impossible not to take America for granted. Then you wake up and see that people have been lined up since 4am ready to cast their ballot. Democracy is a concept that never ceases to amaze.

-At the conclusion of this election we will have elected either the first African-American or the first female to one of the nation's two highest offices. We also have the opportunity to have the first president who was not born inside the boarders of the United States. John McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone.
