People who give us hope: Voters
I love voting. It feels like a spiritual experience, to stand in line with my neighbors to pick our leaders. That is the moment that I feel most American.
People in our country make great sacrifices to vote: they stand out in the rain, they tough it out when the lines are long, they sort through pages of choices. And, of course, it matters.
The primaries yesterday were fascinating-- more on that tomorrow-- but for today let's just appreciate the great privilege we have when we go to the polls. In the end, once again, it is how we will save ourselves.

Only 25% of my fellow Durhamites thought voting in a Primary was worth their time. Really disgusted. You can't cry, bitch and kvetch about wanting change if you can't take the time to vote. I voted last week when I got back in town and it took me no more than 10 minutes to check in, fill in the ballot and insert the ballot into the box.
