Well, the election results are in, except for the possible recount of the state Attorney General's race. Some thoughts:
While happy the pre-election ads are gone, now we have to listen to all the post-election analyses. Life goes on. I am still convinced elections at our city, town school board, county supervisor levels have a greater impact on our daily lives than those that get the most media attention. And one thing more: if you want good representation at every level of government, get involved! Run for an office yourself; or help find what you feel would be a good candidate. And finally, I believe the two greatest rights we have as Americans is the right to vote and the right to a trial by a jury.
Enjoy this late autumn.
