Sounds like my wife talking

In the next six hours neighbors here in 56572 are going to hurt one another.
We are going to think mostly about me, myself and I and hardly at all about you.
We are going about the dirty job of democracy, thankful that we have the right to decide our issue for ourselves.

We need to believe that collectively - a word some of us despise - we are smarter and should, with our collective wisdom, be able to come up with the right choice...either way.

We need to start thinking about tomorrow morning when the winners will be hungover and the losers plotting revenge and asking for the dealer to hurry up and shuffle the deck for the next hand.

We need to be on speaking terms with our neighbors.
We need to speak with them not of them.
We need to be conscious about reconciliation.
Be thinking about that when you open your mouth.

End of sermon.

PS Would those of you who put up the Vote No signs around town please take them down before dark? Sorry about the ones that got vandalized. Thanks.
