Voting is quick and easy. After my long diatribe the other day about how much trouble it was to vote in San Francisco, you'd think I would be complaining again. But really, it was pretty easy once I sat down and did it. And then going to City Hall and making the proper marks on a piece of paper was actually very simple. I realized that I only had about a few issues I wasn't clear on how I wanted to vote-- the rest I had pretty much made up my mind on or knew instantly a while back. So once I broke that down it was easy to parse it all out and then think through the issues I needed to define. Once I was done, I went to City Hall, spent all of 10 minutes in line and actual voting and then I was done. It was actually a great sense of accomplishment. But the best thing about it was the satisfaction that I was telling the "talking heads" (in Washington or San Francisco or California) what was what and not letting them tell me anything. That feeling of having a voice is tremendous and why I love the freedoms we have.

I know I may seem rather pushy and loud on here on this website, but in real life I barely talk about politics or issues or what-not. I'm pretty quiet about it all. I'm just a quiet guy pretty much. And so this is my time to make my voice heard. And I can do it without letting anyone know what voice I used. I can stand in a secret booth and write up my secret ballot and no one will ever know what I did. That secrecy and voting power is so great. Who would have thought that we could have a government that actually makes it a right to vote in secret without government pressure? Wonderful.

Anyway, now that I've said I'm happy about secrecy, I'm going to share with you what I did. It's my little mark on the world. You may not agree with the decisions, but that's ok cuz they're not yours-- their mine.
