People change... I have changed. There was a time where I would only vote for a white male for president. Really, that was one of my criteria... How ridiculous. In my own defense, that was a good number of years ago.
Last night confirmed in my mind that my personal biases are in fact, in the past. It is not race or gender but the individuals values, positions, and ability to lead a governing body.
Governor Sarah Palin demonstrated the ability to deliver a high stakes speech that blows anything away that I have seen in a number of years. We are today the culmination of what we have been in the past. No where was that more evident than Sarah Palin's speech last night. Be it her beauty pageant training, news broadcasting experience, being a chair person, a city council member, mayor, or governor, and oh yes... let's not forget being a mother! She commanded the stage like no other in this election. Granted the election is rarely decided on who the running mate is, but it does reflect on the decision process and judgement of the presidential candidate.
If there is one thing you need to do is VOTE!
It is not just a right that we have in this country, it is our civic responsibility. By not voting, you might just as well be desecrating the graves of the men and women who have died in the efforts to provide the very freedoms we enjoy.
Ok... I think that should be the end of my political rant for a while. Back to photography!
Cya... Doug
