the best sticker ever

every four or so years i am reverted back to childhood and the reward of getting stickers for a job well done.....I VOTED

today as i cast my vote in the florida primary, i was looking around at the various people that were there with me.....from democrat to republican to the young and the old....and thought
-look how far we have come, from the people who are voting to the people that are running
-how technology has changed voting for those that remember the paper ballots, as i stand and watch the older generation a little baffled by the electronic voting booths, and relieved that there are people there to show them the ropes
-knowing that in some small way this is a way we can all have a say, and i wish more people would take advantage of that

and knowing that everyone gets a sticker at the end, no matter who you voted for! the best sticker ever is the sticker that you see on those proud (often too few) americans that take the time to get to their local polling stations.
