A new tradition...

I took Rachel and Sami out to lunch today. We toasted to democracy. I explained it to Rachel, but I don't think it totally sunk into her almost four year old mind. Still, I think a celebratory lunch after a presidential election will be a good tradition. Even if the candidate we voted for lost. It's important to teach the kids the value of our freedoms and how lucky we are to live in a country where we have a say in its future.

My first thought for a new political party is the "Creative Party" based on the ideas espoused by Richard Florida in his book, The Rise of the Creative Class. However, before I go any further I need to know who the non-voters are. So I am off to search the web to find an answer to that question. Unless someone wants to help me out and send me in the right direction. James? What say you on this depressing November 3rd?
