Toward Civility

I was cautiously up yesterday. I left my polling place after a half hour wait (my longest wait ever) feeling like I had answered everyone. I answer you, Gambling Mouse, Carson Bighead and W stickers on the cars. Even though I would be a minority in Oklahoma, I answered.

I think I had truly let myself believe that a majority of Americans agreed with me. Evidently, they didn't.

I did write a haiku for my next door neighbor who should have been teaching Psychology yesterday. Our walls are thin and he annoyed me.

Williams spews his pap

Neo-con evil teaching

I cancel your vote.

In the end, my answer was too quiet.

So what now? How can we work together toward the larger principles expressed in the Constitution? I will accept any answers that don't say "suck it up and believe what I do".

I have a friend who is fond of saying that he doesn't teach cynicsm. I like that. I don't want to but it's not easy.

Give me action verbs, how do we come together?
