What are you doing?
Stop reading this. Get up off of your ass and go vote.
Now. Go. Vote.
If you don’t vote, you can’t complain. And believe me, we’re going to want to complain over the next few years about the way things are going.
Vote for McCain. Vote for Obama. Vote for Nader. Vote for Barr. Vote for Joe the Plumber. Vote for Jack the Ripper. I don’t care, just go and vote.
Something occured to me this week during the middle of all this craziness. Despite the negative tone that the campaign has taken recently and the violence we have occasionally heard about, this is all enormously fun, isn’t it? We have the chance to elect our own leader. We decide. They report.
Democracy isn’t perfect, but it’s better than whatever they’re doing in Russia.

I’m Italian, but is not important…
In my country the past 15 September to Milan, was killed to bolted Abdul Salam Guibre, a 19-year-old boy from Burkina Faso that had stolen a package of cookies.
If I support Barack Obama from so distant, is because I believe in the world unity.
Another Italian of name Cristoforo Colombo, a lot of centuries ago does crossed the Pillars of Hercules; challenged the unknown, arrived in an unblemished part of world and stranger until then…
There in he was welcomed from persons with a culture and a story from that learn. What Colombo led to the return from its journey was evolution, change; “two tight hands and united that did from bridge on the Atlantic ocean”. The residents of those lands arrived in Europe, but alas…
They weren’t welcomed with the same diplomacy reserved Colombo. Our part of world that it is considered civilized to the of above of everything and of everything, looked for “to mold them” to its image and similarity, or at the worst; marginalizing them by means of the different color of the skin and to give back the slaves. The same Colombo defended and supported those persons, and ended in chains.
Then I wonder…
And if Cristoforo Colombo hadn’t undertaken that travel on 3rd August 1492?
But the story it is not done with the “if” and the past changes not. To the opposite one the future we could know it alone making; all together with much tight hands and united.
To who hung to a world without races, to a multicultural society, to an evolution concepted in right manner; it chooses Barack Obama…
Young and charismatic embodiment of that American dream had from Martin Luther King on 28th August 1963 in Lincoln Memorial to Washington D. C., under a sky without clouds.

Hey Tim,
I voted for Bob Barr this morning. Definitely worth waking up an hour earlier to do it. We’re reinstating the no vote, no complaint rule in my house tonight at 8pm. I can’t wait.
