Despite all my efforts and punctual preparedness, when I got to the polls they had no record of my registration. I couldn't technically vote! But I tried. I tried! The person I was going to vote for won, so in a way, I feel as if my ballot was counted, in spirit.
Tyler however, was registered (even though I mailed our forms out on the same day—huh) but decided to voice his opinion by not voting for either candidate, a very clear and decisive declaration of his distaste for personal qualities in one man, and policy issues with the other. Tyler is smart, and I am proud of him for exercising his own freedom of speech. I think he has the right idea though. Where is this country going? I don't think anyone really knows, and I don't think either of the candidates are going to do a perfect job of handling the unforeseen problems that lie ahead for this country. One things for sure, I'm more interested politics and the general direction of America than ever before. This good, responsible adult thing is all new to me.
