From A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago:
VOTE, DAMMIT! I've stood in a lot of lines. A near-riot line before a Metallica concert in 1985; a four-register line for 5000 undergrads to buy college textbooks in the pre-Internet days; a series of surreal Moscow cafeteria lines; garden-variety DMV lines; grocery-checkout lines with senior-citizen express-lane scofflaws; amusement-park attraction lines with the far left part of the American bell curve on any criteria imaginable. I had never stood in line with as many people as giddily proud of standing in line as I did this morning. When you have to wait to vote, it just feels more like democracy.
