Election

I wanted to post something today about the election, but I think Tim Stafford said it best:

I am thankful for America…
… where we don’t have Republican suicide bombers ramming explosive-laden trucks into Democratic campaign offices.
… where  mobs of young Democratic men did not surge into Republican neighborhoods burning houses and churches.
… where Mitt Romney gave a gracious concession speech and pledged to pray for President Obama’s success.
… where President Obama acknowledged the love for America that motivated all sides in the campaign, and praised the Romney family’s lifelong devotion to serving their country.
…. where life goes on the day after the election almost exactly the way it went on the day before the election, only with fewer ads and no robo-calls.

I had a friend in India who marveled at how nice the American politicians are to each other, especially after the election.

I had a hard time seeing what he was seeing, but it was certainly interesting to realize that, relatively speaking, we still have a civil society.
