This Mortal Coil?

November 12, 2010

Hi, I’m Shawn. I understand if you don’t remember me, because I’ve been criminally negligent of this blog for the last month or so. I intend to rectify this, starting now…

I’ve been meaning to write about this subject for a while, but Marvel forced my hand by announcing the upcoming death of Spider-Man. Incredible, right?

Make Yourself Heard

November 2, 2010

It’s election day in the US. If you’re registered, please exercise your privilege and responsibility to vote.

I know that there are a lot of people who are frustrated with candidates that they have supported in the past, or who aren’t completely happy with any of the options before them this year. I realize that it can seem like a futile exercise. But a democracy (or a democratic republic, for the sticklers) works best when its people participate. And voting is the most direct way that we have to take part in our government.

I’m not trying to tell you how to vote. I just urge you to take advantage of your right to vote today. Make yourself heard.
