I love it!

p.s. My son's high school was also overwhelmingly for Obama. Rural high school in a blue county in NC. But still very encouraging.

They are smart and fed up

I can't describe how red this place is

sounds weird to you, but all of this talk about the Mayan calendar. The Mayans never said that the world would end but it would be a shift in the paradigm. Away from destruction and competition to the cooperative and creative. Maybe we are starting to see this.

If that happened in AL, WOW! As a 'yankee,' I've been afraid to even go there that my big mouth would put me in jail!

I do not want to get my hopes up until I see RobMe giving a concession speech while crying like a diaper-rashed, unwanted baby...see how I could get arrested or shot???

Doesn't sound weird to me.

Bring on the paradigm shift toward the cooperative and creative!!!

those Mayan's were a smart bunch of people. I guess the Earth is leaving the area of Pisces (where we've been in for the past 2,000 years) which is a very macho and destructive sign and into Aquarius which is more feminine, cooperative, and creative.

I've long felt that our culture/world was getting close to hitting bottom and that we had to find a new way to live.

However, there might be some earthquakes, floods and land mass changes on the way to that new paradigm. Mother Nature has to convince those who haven't respected her a lesson. So we'll see.

It certainly was eye-opening to see Sandy hit the US in its most densely populated areas of NY and NJ.

I lived in CA and experienced a 7.2 earthquake. Just unbelievable power that Mother Nature has. I recycle everything now. I show her the utmost respect.

Now do you think it's weird?

not at all.

Edit to add that I also don't think your second post is weird, either.

Yes, there is HOPE!!!!



Bless those kids!!!



K&R

And we are from the reddest county in the state of IL! "I believe the children are our future...."

I live in the Bham area but grew up in the woods of north Alabama. When I went to vote today I would say it was easily 85-15 for Rmoney... Glad to see the youth are smarter than the olds.

Good mix but still really red

I live in Trussville and work on 280 and its been nothing but Rmoney Rmoney Rmoney. Glad to hear that and

It is nasty around here is in it?

People's ignorance knows no bounds. But then again this is a state that has and will vote against its best interests. They vote down a lottery to pay for college because of religion. If you could get Jesus out of the South, it would be a better place to live.

We are an island of sanity in a sea of crazies

I am a proud Jefferson co. resident.

Went to the 'old' Shades Valley High.
Good for your daughter's school.

Fighting the good fight down south?

Unbelievable.

This state is pure red. Scary

and we're in East Tennessee.

Is a change coming?

As we walked into the building the teabaggers tried to hand each one of us their propaganda/newsletter. There were five kids in that car, each refused the handout. By the way, I live in a DEEP DEEP Red county in Texas. I too have hopes for the next generation.

also voted for Obama.

This is Ron Paul's district.

10 years from now. They are non-religious, very scientific, tons of kids of every race at the high school. I can't imagine the old white religious crap ever working, ever again.

The 20th century mindset just doesn't hold with this generation

Marriage equality too! So exciting!

Not at all. Just another run of the mill day according to her

good to hear!

At work today I had to listen to two people talk about how Romney had won the election in one of our local middle schools and in a non-local (but still northeastern NC) elementary school. Of course the elementary school in question was a private, Christian school, but still. It depressed me.

Maybe the next gen will save us!

Obama 177
Romney 73
