I guess after the let down of this election was one thing, but it wasn't all. The radio started playing one of the saddest songs played at the memorial service of 9/11. It was "Adagio for Strings", by Samuel Barber. It brought back the same experience I had after 9/11. It was on NPR, "The Prarie Home Companion". It was very, very sad. I wonder if any other people are experiencing such sadness today, if they have other reminders like I did.

Just remembering my experience there is calming. Only temporarily of course. Tomorrow will come and nothing will have changed. But just for today? Imagining all of us (except the PET people) there celebrating life helps a lot. &n... less

We have representatives that vote in what we call an electoral college, getting two votes from each, one for the president and one for the vice-president. They do not have to vote for the candidate, if they choose not to, even if their state voted for them. This is what our founders decided, in case they needed further assistance to get the candidates they wanted. Is it possible? They vote on Dec. 19.

It would only be fair to know, so no one has expectations of receiving feedback.
