We've been waiting a long time for this day. It seems like forever. And although I already voted some time ago, today is when it will be counted. OK, I know that it might be the end of the week before that particular cardboard ballot will be shuffled through an optical scanner, but symbolically, it all happens today.
And I couldn't help but think that with any luck at all, our grandchildren and their grandchildren will look back on these past years and know them as the 2nd Dark Ages, beginning with the election of Reagan and ending with the election of Obama.
Those living in the 1st Dark Ages didn't know how unenlightened they were until the Renaissance occurred. The same could begin to happen today.
