Day 56- The Obligatory Election Day Post

I haven't thought that much about politics today. Honestly. After settling on a third-party candidate due to a moral conviction to not vote for either candidate, I dropped off my ballot this morning and set my mind to school work. I was blessed with a great day of filled with peace and clarity of thought.

I must say it is funny how grouchy and argumentative people get on election day. I mostly watched people get passionate about hating political figures, and since I didn't vote for either of them I was totally fine listening to rants on either side of the debate, because I agreed with a lot of them no matter whom I .

Until people bring history into it and forget that I actually care about my chosen field of study. Or question personal character and moral conviction based upon someone's candidate of choice.

A few things people either a.) forget that I hate, b.) don't know that I hate, or c.) know that I hate but do anyway:

1.) When people look to me for validation/ support for their agendas, whatever they may be.
2.) Call countries like Russia (I think they mean USSR) or China communist.
3.) Call the US "the most moral nation in the world."

Unfortunately, basically all three things happened earlier today. Those of you that know me can guess what happened next. Thankfully, I bit my lip and left the room once I realized what I was starting to do.

Um. I've got a couple of theological ideas I'm mulling over, as well as one prompted by my hour of Halloween that I spent out of the house. I'm waiting to talk them out with someone before I post so I can get my thoughts in order, but look for some doozies coming. Like I said, I've had a lot of clarity of thought today. I'll be up for another six and a half hours, as I will be driving down to Burlington FedEx to inquire about a job down there.

So now I'm going to go outside, out into the realm of cell phone reception. Which means that I may have received several text messages saying "YAY OBAMA"

BOO, capitalism.
