A Last Minute Political Plea

The title “A Second-hand last minute political plea” may have been somewhat more appropriate but whatever. As the large masses flood out today to cast their votes all over the country for various primaries, I find a great tension hanging. This day could likely determine the future of this country, at least for the next four years; Will we act responsibly on the world fronts? Will government clean it’s act up? Can this country possibly move to become something I personally could hold respect for again?

Alas, I’m feeling ineloquent and time is short, as pollsters are already moving out in parts of the country to cast our future. And so, rather than using this soap-box to stand up and give my own, long-winded and potentially un-grandiose plea for those of you voting later today to cast in favor of Obama, I instead send you forth to this link. It is a blog post written by the creator of xkcd, a web comic which I personally enjoy. It does not try to argue some sharp point, berate too many of the failings of the other candidates or any of those usual politics. It is just a short, quiet plea for a better future.
