i'm still wearing my "i voted" sticker. this election is working out much better for me than the last time i voted. the nature of my career makes state and local government pressing issues, and i'm hopeful that our new governor has an understanding of mental health issues and poverty and children and families. i'm hopeful that when i quit working full-time someday, our self-employed family will have affordable health care, due to some of the changes i voted for today. i believe in separation of church and state, and i believe that my primary citizenship is in the kingdom of God as opposed to the u.s.a. i know that politics is corrupt on every level, and i've questioned at different points in my life whether i should even vote or not. but somehow, i've found myself get almost passionate about politics over the past few years. is this a good thing? what do you think?
