THEY CAME IN DROVES, the young and the old, the healthy and the infirm, some with babies in tow, others heavy with child. We may not always like how they vote, we may agree or disagree with their choices in politics, yet theirs is a right to be heard, and a right that they defended on May 13 by braving the long lines and the stifling heat just so they could be part of this crazy thing we call democracy. Whether people choose well or not, the fact is that people chose on May 13. And generally, they were heard.
And that, at least, is one aspect of democracy in action.
