i voted.
i've not been closely following the campaigns, i didn't watch or hear the debates, and i'm not well-versed in the issues--particularly those of relevance to my state. i have a couple strong opinions (e.g., "Why elect a senator who'll only be around for a year and a half, and is brazenly using this state as a stepping-stone to her presidential candidacy?"), but only a couple. i didn't even know there were three state supreme court justices up for election. i have friends who'd be ashamed of me.
i've been mulling it over all day. one of my elections decisions happened in the voting booth: "hey, this guy is endorsed by the democrats and the independents? he must be really bipartisan, i'll vote for him." seriously.
i think i'm a civic failure. ah, well: i hereby resolve to make knowledge a prerequisite to having an opinion.
in other news, i'm thinking of cutting my hair. short.
