It's voting day for Americans (even dual-citizen, border-straddling people like yours truly).

If you are eligible, please vote. Not all elections in all places matter in the grand scheme of things, but federal elections in the world's only superpower do matter. They have effects, and sometimes they change the world. You have an opportunity to have a hand in making history, which is something very few people in whole course of our species' duration on this planet have ever had the chance to do. Cool, huh?

I love voting. I get a giddy thrill every time I cast a ballot. This has not been diminished by the fact that just about everyone I've ever voted for has lost.

But I keep voting because, hey, I'm due baby!
