Der Tag: you may already be a Winner

Polling polling remember poll tax? As recent as 1990 in Britain. 7th in line - lucky for me? ? For America? Dressed for ruffians and hypesters who never showed up. Words in the air ' you don't want your vote to count ' but with that philosophy your vote 'counts' only if you pick a winner - again, are we participating or gambling? ? The mix of superstition and gambling - I'm close to seeing through a veil into America. Or Arizona Dave is right - fear versus love. That's another kind of vote. Am I just afraid of Palin? Where's yer Buddha NOW, Flanders . . . A goth kid behind me turned away from the polls. Elementary school - motto ' where you come in a beginner and leave a winner' Elmwood cemetery there's a stone we saw this week from the Pontiac uprising.People call the Pottawatomie insurgents and terrorists now for a moment I'm moved at the full booths - this many people paying SOME kind of intention, trying to control their destiny in at least some way, which is more than I'd come to expect, then back to reality as the election workers complain their lunch is too short.
words I forgot last time innate of the tenor of debate:

'Van Buren is as opposite to general Jackson as Dung is to diamond. . .He is what the English Call a Dandy. When he enters the senate chamber in the morning, he struts and swaggers like a crow in the gutter. He is laced up in corsets, such as women in town wear and, if possible, tighter than the best of them. It would be diffucult to say, from his personal appearance whether he was a man or a woman, but for his large . . . whiskers'

- Representative Davy Crockett of Tennesee, 1835
Anyway, good luck, may you all be winners.
