Moving forward

Did you vote? Did you exercise your right to be heard and counted?

The system is flawed in many, many ways. The media is flawed in many, many ways. The United States is flawed in many, many ways. Long conversations can be had about these flaws. But it's what we've got. If you don't like it, then do something to affect change.

But don't be so overly dramatic (part of pop culture) and say you're physically sick to your stomach or "if (so and so) wins, I'm leaving the country." Unless of course you actually plan to do so. Don't call everyone who votes differently from you, an idiot. It's a free country after all. I know quite a few very intelligent people who voted for Obama. That's their right. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, religion and political beliefs. I don't have less respect for them because they exercised their right to choose. I didn't vote for Obama. But the majority of the people who voted, did. I'm disappointed. I'm frustrated. I don't agree with the Democratic party as a whole. But it's what we've got right now.

So, lets move forward.
