Hooray For Earth

I'm still waiting to see the results on some down-ballot stuff in Oregon (in particular the Senatorial seat) but the big-ticket item worked out nicely. Pretty neat to actually vote for a winning President.

Personally I'm reminded of a line in the late Kurt Vonnegut's Timequake. His crusty sci-fi writer alter ego, Kilgore Trout, who is the first person to realize he has free will again after a rerun of the past decade, rushes about telling it to the still-passive people he sees: "You were sick, but now you're well, and there's work to do." Here's hoping for competent governance.
