No matter who you voted for, I respect and admire that you voted at all. Respect is largely what we are missing as a country, as clearly reflected in the horribly racist, ignorant, and hateful things I have seen after President Barack Obama was elected to his second term. It's shameful, it's ignorant, and it only keeps us from being able to move forward as a country and better ourselves.
We need to look out for ourselves, yes. But looking out for ourselves also means looking out for each other. Passing school levies to ensure the kids in the neighborhood grow into thoughtful, well-rounded, and intelligent adults. Acknowledging that maybe you didn't vote for this person or that person, but perhaps their being in office helped one of your neighbors or family members. Being graceful about defeat and figuring out how to find the silver lining. That's all I have to say about that.
