For those who are upset with the election results, are getting into arguments with others about the meaning of the results, or just need to relax, I'm passing on a message I got at work from a fellow consumer bankruptcy lawyer, which is good whether you're a D or R. It's all about the dangers of democracy:
While�looking at a house, my brother asked the real estate agent which direction was�north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun waking him up every morning.� She asked, "Does the sun rise in the North?"
When another person�jumped in and explained that the sun rises in the east (and has for some�time), she shook her head and said, "Oh, I don't keep up�with that stuff."�
And then she voted.
===============
I used to work in�technical support for a 24/7 call center. One day I got a�call from an� InDUHvidual who asked what hours the call center was open.
I told him, "The�number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week." He�responded, "Is that�Eastern or Pacific time?" Wanting to end the call quickly, I� said, "Pacific.."�
And then he voted.
===============
So my colleague and I� were eating our lunch in our cafeteria when we overheard one of the� administrative assistants talking about the sunburn she got on�her weekend drive� to the shore. She drove down in a convertible, but "didn't think she'd get�sunburned because the car was moving."
And then she voted.�
===============
I was in a high school advanced physics class and�the teacher was talking about a new military weapon that uses sonic waves on the� battlefield to burst� enemy soldier's chests. One InDUHvidual in the class spoke�up and said,
"Well that's stupid! Why don't they just wear headphones?"�
And a few years later, he voted.
===============
My� sister has a lifesaving tool in her car. It's designed to cut through a seatbelt�if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the trunk.
And then she voted.�
===============
My friends and I were on a beer run and noticed�that the cases were discounted 10%.� Since it was a big party, we bought�two cases.�The cashier multiplied two times 10% and gave us a 20%�discount.
And then they all voted.
===============
I was�hanging out with a real�conservative friend of mine when we saw a woman walk by us�with a nose ring attached to an earring by a chain.� My friend said,�"Wouldn't the chain rip out every time she turned her head?"� I had to�explain to her that a person's nose and ear remain the same distance apart no�matter which way the head is turned.
And then she voted.�
===============
I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage�area.� So I went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there that�my bags never showed up. She smiled and told me not to worry because they were�trained professionals and I was in good hands.� "Now," she asked me, "has�your plane arrived yet?"
And then she voted.

This is me again. My proposal for the future: leave wars to the men, but voting to the women.
