UNITY
The tension in the air is so thick you could cut it with a knife. I really don't know how anyone of even modest awareness could not feel at least some anxiety right now.
I find it hard to believe that some people, mostly liberal and at least of modest intellect are actually voting third party because their ideals are not perfectly embodied by Obama. Look at where this kind of idealism got us. You must realize that people, including yourself, will tangibly suffer for your decision.
I consider myself to be idealistic and extremely independent, but there is a time when you must put that extremism aside and unite for the greater good: the kind that will ensure your basic freedoms, let alone your personal ideology. Most people who indulge in this kind of behavior were raised privileged, educated in the ivory tower and shielded by income afforded by their economic birthright. For those whom this is not the case, I applaud your tenacity, but not your intention. We are at a precipice and steadily leaning over the edge. Please consider the impact of your vote before throwing it away.
