In The Afterglow

Well, I voted -- did you? I ended up voting pretty evenly for republicans and democrats, though more of my votes seemed to be more against one candidate than for the other. But I guess that will be the big story of this election -- although that's been the growing trend in elections for the past16 years or so. Sad isn't it.

There is one thing that always struck me as strange -- the votes for judges. It's like the old communist party elections where you wouldn't vote for your favorite candidate, just yes for the man in power (unless you had a death wish, then you could vote no). I usually vote no on all judicial retention ballots -- I feel judges should be held accountable more than they are, and not having to be held accountable for thier rulings doesn't seem right.

But that's just my opinion...
