If you find yourself waiting in a long line-up to vote -- rejoice

[Iceburg]

Remember ... the 92 year old woman in South Africa (April 27, 1994) who stood in line for 6 hours waiting to vote with her daughters and grandsons and when queried by a foreign reporter about the long line-ups she said "I waited all my life, what's a few hours."


South Africa April 27, 1994 -- An end to the Waiting"

1. Long lines at early voting in Boulder county . . .

My wait was 1.5 hours, but didn't bother me or most other people one bit.

However, I was disgusted to see one young woman walking out complaining loudly, "I want to vote, but I shouldn't have to wait over an hour to do it!" The handful of us who heard her all glanced at each other as we rolled our eyes. Grow up sweetheart - the world does not revolve around you & some things are worth being inconvenienced for. Hopefully she was going to vote *.

Thanks for sharing this great photo & quote!

2. Good for you PNR -- somethings are definetly worth waiting for

I was in SA 1994 working on the election ...let's just call it my 6 month tour of duty... a very blesssed one indeed.

I stand proud, knowing my good neighbours to the South are rising to this challenge. Just wish we (Canadians) could be of more assistance in your time of need.

in Dem districts trying to suppress the vote.
