Even when it's over, I don't think it's going to be over.

[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 703816, member: 4152"] Couldn't agree more. I actually cried when I voted. I voted by mail. I couldn't feel good about my vote. I had seriously thought about not voting. But, my husband talked me into it. All the usual reasons. The funny thing is we ended up voting for different people AND he had to toss it into the mailbox for me because I was too upset. I just did NOT feel good about it one bit. AND for the first time EVER, I was "unfriended" for my political viewpoint, which is ironic, because I am basically an Independent and see things all across the board. Sometimes I worry that this might mean that EVERYONE will despise me because people, especially lately, seem to have such very strong views and such very strong black and white views. Anyway, this particular woman, I agree with some of her thoughts and disagree with others. What she objected to the most, I believe, was that I felt it was not good to get overly upset about little things and to argue over little things. This led to me being "unfriended." Then when I wrote her about it via email, she gave me a somewhat peculiar explanation. All the mis information, cruelty, judgment, mean spirit-ness associated with this election has been a downer. I'm very fortunate in that one of my closest friends thinks very differently than myself and we remain close friends. My husband and I voted for different people and it has not been a problem. I try to concentrate on that. [/QUOTE]
