It’s still way too early to know what will happen in Britain with the potential exit from the EU, but there are some very interesting parallels between their situation and ours. Very frustrated voter base, a conservative party pushing to go back to the way they say things used to be, political groups willing to say many unfounded and/or poorly researched things in order to advance a political agenda, unaware or uncaring of the potential consequences, and many apathetic voters that assume enough other people will vote against those bad ideas so they don’t worry enough to vote on their own.

The result so far has been chaos and a lot of unnecessary tension. That can happen here, too. Do your research people, check your facts, stop getting your news and “facts” from Facebook feeds and for damn sure vote, because you have no idea who else will, or won’t.

I chose the Shorter Whitman because of his work, "Song of Myself" and because of my self-deprecating sense of humor. I am under no illusion that I can write successful essays or poetry, but I have been known to write them anyway.
