my country tis of thee, sweet land of liberty...or so it seems (remember remember Nov 5)

Greetings and salutations my fellow Americans, I find my timing for this latest installment to be appropriate for many reasons.  First, today is the election.  Second, I just re-re-re-watched V for Vendetta and have been motivated to go out and attempt to make a difference in the world.  This email won't be my usual well organized fluff but a few of these links may give some insight into our world of today.

Whoever you choose to vote for today will be your own decision.  I'm not going to advocate any particular candidate or ideology.  I only ask that you consider both where we've been and where we're going.  Honestly look at the issues and the positions offered.  Follow your heart and do the best thing possible for our nation.  Don't be lead by the rhetoric of either side, choose your own path.  Only by shedding our apathy can we hope to salvage our freedom and our future.  Godspeed and good luck.
