The Big 'O'

Election day is finally upon us!! I'm pretty relieved, it's been quite a build up. I do hope the swinging voters don't lose their nerve and Obama gets in. According to the polls, McCain should have had his chips, yet you do wonder if, when push comes to shove, middle America won't fall back on familiar ground.

There is an overwhelming hope that this could be a new dawn, not just for the U.S., but by association, the whole world. Could this be the moment that defines our future civilisation? The crises of global warming particularly seem to encapture the sentiment, "last chance saloon".

It's so frustrating that the lives of so many rest on the votes of, the relatively, so few. US citizenship? - Surely such a frivolous factor in deciding eligibility to vote!!!

US Citizenship? Frivolous? Tell that to the Mexicans.
