So, it's election day here in the United States.

Every presidential election seems important — but I am sure that I am not alone in thinking this one is different, maybe more important than most.

So please go vote.

When you're done, I give you (once again) Carl Sagan's beautiful Pale Blue Dot speech to put it all in perspective.
