Post-Election

I believe I am 2-2 in big elections now. I'm relieved that both Granholm (better of two evils) and Stabenow (yay Democratic Congress!) were granted second terms. I have yet to win a presidential election - that will be exciting when that day comes. I only think two of the five proposals I voted for actually turned out the way I wanted them too. I know that the eminent domain issue is for the state, but it is also the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. I have a hard time accepting change like that, especially if it means changing one of the Bill of Rights. If this becomes a national issue, I'm going to worry about the foundation of our country's fundamental policy. I know the government is cheap and doesn't pay the amount they say they would if they have to take your property for growth, but I'd be curious to see how often that actually happens, and how successful the lawsuits are if they seriously try to rip you off. Hm.

That's all I have to say about that.

For some post-election celebration or mourning, read this. It is bound to make you laugh. I was nearly in tears for some of these answers. :)

A first grade teacher had twenty-five students in her class. She presented each child the first half of a well-known proverb, and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb. It's hard to believe these were actually done by first graders. Their insight may surprise you! While reading these, keep in mind that these are 6-year-olds because the last one is classic!
