I don't normally combine politics and avocational pursuits, but the comments here are appreciated. I've had the opportunity to have been traveling in Australia, Argentina, Mexico and The Netherlands during their elections and the negatives are universal. For better and worse (in that order!!), we are all more alike than different. Every once in awhile though, there come special moments. Even as a grizzled, skeptical OF, I'm treasuring this one.
