Day Seven

Today I watched the end of a movie about the holocaust in one of the classes I subbed in. And I am deeply, profoundly, seriously grateful I am not a Jew in Hitler's Germany or Poland. It was such a sobering story. I am just as grateful that I live in America, where I can belong to any religion I choose. And so can my neighbors. That we can criticize our leaders without fear of jail or death. We can run for public office just because we want to! In theory we don't have to be wealthy or highly educated to hold office. We just need to run, oh and get more votes than our opponent. Tomorrow I am going to express my gratitude and VOTE! God bless America.
