Political note:

I avoid discussing politics these days as I don't follow closely and don't venture many opinions on things of which I'm ignorant.

I still think I'm obligated to vote and I did in the primary.

If you're curious, I voted for Ron Paul in the presidential race, despite the following.

The racist content in the newsletters was news to me, besides the one that Lefty Morris brought up a few years ago. I couldn't afford the newsletter back then, it was pretty pricey as I remember. I don't care for racists, they have no respect for logic. I don't think Dr. Paul's a racist, but letting that kind of thing go into the newsletters is something for which he should be held accountable.

Anyway, I think Dr. Paul's position on ending the Iraq war is unrealistic and would have negative consequences, but, since he wasn't going to win I found it easier to vote for him.

I didn't go to the precinct convention. (Why do they insist on calling it a caucus?) I saw some of the Democrats' conventions on the TV. Dang. Glad I didn't have to deal with that much turnout as an elections judge.
