Born in the USA

Today, it all comes down to this. Election Day. TWO YEARS in the making. And I think I've been stressing about it since the primaries started. I just can't believe by the end of the day (hopefully) it will all be over and either 53% of the country will be walking on air or 44% of the country will be thanking God for miracles.

It's obviously an historic election. Everyone knows that. We will have the oldest president or the first black president. We will have a crazy female VP or a VP who has been in Delaware for the past few decades and lived to tell about it. I'm just glad America finally seems to be getting out of the Dark Ages and may elect a non-Caucasian, non-Protestant male. It's not a female, but hey, one issue at a time.

I just hope people go out and vote; specifically, my age group. We are famous for getting hyped about a candidate and then being too lazy to vote on election day. Oh, the disaffected youth of America. We think our vote doesn't count and no one cares about us, but the reason they don't is because we don't vote. Everyone helps out senior citizens because THEY VOTE. My fellow 18-29 year olds need to get off their asses and go over to the polling place if they haven't already.

Whatever happens tonight, I just hope people had their voices heard. I hope we unite behind the winner and not let ourselves be divided by hate and violence. I hope we show everyone in the world who will be watching that we can come together for change and do the right thing, and vote for someone who will take our country in the right direction.

But more importantly, I sure as fucking hell don't want Sarah Palin anywhere near the White House or my uterus.
