Thought of the day

At one door, the voter I was trying to reach wasn't home. When I told the man who answered what I was doing and that I was a Democrat he said, "That's not good."
"It's called Democracy dude," I said, a bit surprised I spit it out that way.
But it should be seen as a good thing when you come across someone with a different political view. If we lived in a country where everyone had the same opinion -- or HAD to -- then we'd be in trouble.
In this day, technology has allowed us to develop our opinions in an echo chamber. We are then free to project our worst fears on anyone who disagrees with us.
But when you come across someone of an opposing view, take a moment and say to yourself, "Ah, good, democracy lives."
