There are people who will move past the election before tomorrow morning, but the people I've been surrounded by know the issues, understand the issues, and care about the issues. And if things don't turn out the way they want tonight, they will not be alright with it tomorrow, or the day after, or a month after that, or two months after that.<br/><br/>we have campaigned and canvassed and traveled, and the long road is nearing a fork. I voted at 7:30 this morning, took an exam, and went back to the polls to volunteer. after tomorrow, when someone brings something up with which I don't agree, I will state my opinion in the hopes that they will consider a new side, because I will do the same. <br/><br/>If you give the world a little more credit, then I will too. (I did agree with your post, so you know. the world doesn't care enough come nov. 5) Lead by example and continue to care about the issues for which you voted. Happy election day!

This is an area that I have been struggling with in my life for quite some time now. <br/><br/>I am usually quick to the fight (I love a good battle!) but once the fight is over I tend to lose interest. Do women struggle with this as well? <br/><br/>I know that guys typically like the quest...to conquer. I think that's why marriages sometimes fail...guys feel like there is nothing left to conquer. What they're missing perhaps, is that our bride still wants to be pursued every day! Sounds like fodder for another post! Thanks for the thoughts Jamese, but I am far from wise.
