Sure the system is flawed, and we've not got an Obama (or a Saxon for that matter), the country is in a funk and whoever gets elected will have to make some very drastic cuts somewhere - but we still live in a democracy, and every single vote matters! So go vote - even if it's Monster Raving Loony Party. Actually they have some good ideas! :)

Our local polling station is in a small Methodist Church - very simple and bare, but with posters such as this one looking down on you as you make up your mind where to put your X:

So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.
Romans 14.12

I think this is not a bad thing.

(I tried to explain voting to the Cherub, using Obama as an example of people having to choose between two different things. Her response? "Can I have an Obama mask to dress up in?" But then I guess these concepts are a little beyond 4 year olds... *g*)

I was going to write more (Think of the BBC!!!), but school just called and said that Miss M is not feeling well and could I come and get her? I swear she was FINE when we said goodbye less than an hour ago, and I JUST GOT IN!

*grumbles and puts on shoes and coat again*

See you later.

ETA: V. interesting article (whether you agree with it or not) from The Times here: Unsure how to vote? My contortions may help

I'm not going to say anything about s8, except that THIS is the greatest thing EVER!

Well, maybe except for this. Watch, and be amazed!

Angel: "Well, I guess I kinda - worked it out. If there is no great glorious end to all this, if - nothing we do matters, - then all that matters is what we do. 'cause that's all there is. What we do, now, today. - I fought for so long. For redemption, for a reward - finally just to beat the other guy, but... I never got it."
Kate: "And now you do?"
Angel: "Not all of it. All I wanna do is help. I wanna help because - I don't think people should suffer, as they do. Because, if there is no bigger meaning, then the smallest act of kindness - is the greatest thing in the world."
Kate: "Yikes. It sounds like you had an epiphany."
Angel: "I keep saying that. But nobody's listening."

But... someone should make an icon of Twangel (WITH SPARKLES!) that says:

"What if I'm not the hero? [dramatic pause] What if I'm... The Bad Guy?"

Or maybe it should be:

"What if I'm not the hero? What if I'm... [dramatic pause] The Bad Guy?"

Not sure how you'd make a pause in an icon though. (ETA: Of course you could make a .gif, but having thought about it I'd (also) love the words 'dramatic pause', just because it's be funny. *g*

ANYWAY, just throwing it out there.

(Am watching channel 4 btw. 'Tis funny!)
