I felt responsible to warn people about what they may perceive as their only two choices this election.  So I painted a sign, and this morning Isaiah and I delivered it.

One guy walks up just after we get it up and rants, "Oh bleep!  I can't beleive they allow this kind of bleep.  They shouldn't let people put bleep like this up.  I don't care who the candidates are, you shouldn't be allowed to put up bleep like this!"  I turned around to hid my laughter.  The dude must've been a strong supporter of free speech.

After voting (I wrote in Ron Paul for president, myself for senate, and Ron, my father-in-law, for representative -- I figured he deserved to serve alongside Ron Paul more than I) Isaiah and I came back out and chatted briefly with an older fellow who was a veteran.  I asked him who he'd voted for.  He says, "Actually, I voted for Sonny here.  I wrote him in," and he points to the fellow next to him.  I don't know if that was true, but he continued, "It's gonna be bad either way it goes.  I haven't looked at it like this for long, but if McCain wins, we have racist, and if Obama wins, Lord help us!"

Honestly, I was shocked.  I would've placed this guy squarly in the Republican demographic.  It's encouraging to realize that there are peole who see through this mess and aren't willing to put up with it.
