The thing about the center is, it isn’t anywhere in particular. It’s just the point between two other points. if your purpose is only to find the center, then you stand for nothing and you have no vision. It’s a total loser; not even a moral victory, because it’s a fundamentally amoral perspective.

As predicted, women in New Hampshire had a hard time voting yesterday because of the new proof of citizenship law:
“It doesn’t have my married name on it,” she said. Town voting officials then sent her away a second time, to get her marriage certificate.

NH’s new ID requirements send some would-be voters home to grab passports, birth certificates
The law requires all new voters to show proof of their U.S. citizenship. For some, that meant making multiple trips to and from the polls before finally casting a ballot on Tuesday.
