My one and only Election Day post. Until later I guess.

I am not even going to watch TV today, nor listen to the radio. I will find out who won this thing tomorrow. Well, maybe late this evening. I’m not hiding from it, I just want a break. I’ve had my fill. I’m gonna have lunch, then go and get some bowling practice in.

Anyway, I got over to my polling place this morning. I’m living out here in sleepy little Union Township in nearly rural western New Jersey. Usually when I vote I just about have to wake the poll worker ladies up. Today the parking lot was jammed, and people were parking out on the street. The poll ladies told me the place had been a madhouse since the doors opened at 6am. I actually had to stand on line for a couple minutes and wait my turn to vote. I haven’t missed an election of any kind here in 10 years, and this is the first time that has ever happened. Record turnouts. And the same thing is going on everywhere.


OUTSTANDING !!

It’s high time America woke up. I hope we have voter turnout today somewhere north of 90%. Why not? The Australians routinely get a 95% turnout, so should we. So cast your ballot and git ‘er done!

No John, you’re supposed to use the red box!





On the downside, the FBI and police departments across the country are prepared to deal with rioting. It’s their job to be paranoid prepared, but it’s a sad statement on America. What on earth is wrong with people? Have we all devolved into euro-trash soccer hooligans? Celebrate if your candidate wins, pout for a bit if your candidate loses, then get over it. Get up on your soapbox and orate if you feel the need. But don’t go around smashing things, setting fires, killing people, and looting businesses. That is wrong, and your emotional reaction to the election news is absolutely no excuse. Rioters and looters should be shot on sight, eliminated just like any other vermin. Behave. Or die. Easy choice. And the same thing applies to sports. There is never a justified riot. Ever. No excuses.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
