Yup. Born and raised just one hour from Moscow. Idaho.
I have lamented the idiocy of the American voter. I have also had tears of pride on my cheeks at their decision(s).
Back to the thread topic: Yesterday, regardless of outcome, I was once again proud of this country. Everyone's perspective is different. And yet, we all want much the same outcome. Prosperity. Security. Fairness. But yeah, we disagree on how to achieve those things. Remarkably vigorously these days. But then.....go to the polls and vote our preference, based on our conscience and perspective. That's how we do it, and it's a beautiful thing.
Perspective: Lots of nations have people with guns standing around the polling stations. Others have no polling stations. Ours are guarded by old women knitting.
