"Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote
that he is not making a present or a compliment to please an individual--
or at least that he ought not so to do;
But that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society
for which he is accountable to God and his country. "
Samuel Adams, The Writings of Samuel Adams, Harry Alonzo Cushing, editor (New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1907), Vol. IV, p. 256.
We watch politics very closely. A presidential election is like the superbowl at my house, we are up late, we watch all the commentary, and YES, we care very much about the outcome. In other news, our chickens started laying yesterday! I have to get some fake eggs to put in their nesting boxes to teach them not to lay on the floor.
