Be a good American

Today I voted in the state primary election. Don’t you love that feeling you have after you vote? It makes me feel very powerful. I know that I am only one vote, but it doesn’t matter. Lately, politics have been so ugly and partisan and I really try not to buy into the cynicism of the masses. That’s why today is so great. I feel so proud when I vote. I am proud of my country and proud of my state. Making those choices makes me feel better about our future. Don’t get me wrong, I holler and scream at the TV about political topics and generally think that everybody besides me is so obviously wrong. If politicians would all just listen to me, I’m pretty sure we’d all be holding hands, enjoying perfect healthcare, paying equitable taxes, working at fair paying jobs, and saying please and thank you! But until I’m asked, I suppose I’ll just go to the polls and make those important choices. Yay, America!! Okay, so Canada has a really awesome National Anthem, but still….Yay, America!!
