[Peace-discuss] Fwd: Our job today, if you have not already, is to vote

[E. Wayne Johnson]

democracy is oft touted as being holy, godly, and Christian.  The bible doesn't ascribe much wisdom to such mob action.  They voted not to go into Canaan and later voted to go when the timing was wrong.  Notably they voted for Barabbas also.

Americans voted for the  Clintons three times.  If i were Democracy, that's not a thing that I'd put on my resume...
