88 People died in the storm and a number just narrowly missed death. Shouldn't Americans be sober instead of the excitement about elections?

its only a few states that got hit, what about the other 45 states that were uneffected?you are blowing it out of porportion, you would make a terrible king.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5073178 Hmmm, so you are saying in essence that you knew all along what nature intended to do? That it wouldnt touch you but its ok if it killed the other guy? What number would be ok for you to stop elections? 10, 20, 30, 40 States? Heck, what if the whole 50 states got hit? That would do, wouldn't it? No, even if all fifty states got clobbered by the storm, I would still have the elections on November 6, 2012. A storm does not stop this country; a storm does not stop these people; a storm does NOT change the Constitution. If a storm could do all of that, then it tells a sad story about the fate of this country. Some of us may be down, some of us may be hurting, some of us are untouched by the storm, but NEVER should a storm define us as a people and a country! Those that will have you believe that the storm was so bad that the laws and rules should be set aside to accommodate those that did suffer at it's angst, seem to have little regard for the bonds that make us great. If we as a people defer to those that demand accommodating, we will soon be a nation that is ruled by the few that care not for us all, but only for their own. Hurriedly going nowhere, eh? LOL! Can you guarantee that there will be no hailstorm on the 6th of November? That will grind the nation to a halt? I'm sure you were walking around during Sandy, so I should know better. Reflecting on this storm's impact is not a sign of weakness. It is a sign of sanity and looking for that guiding spirit. Would you still have an election just assuming that Sandy happened on election day? Wouldn't you cuddle in your house hoping to survive. Or you feel there is zero chance of such a thing happening again? Perhaps you can now control the weather now and tame nature? The candidates you seek to vote for were selected and you simply follow their lead. Like the famous comedian said...the game is rigged and no one seems to care. What you seem to be ignoring is the fact that for over a week, every where you looked on the news, it talked about the upcoming "frankenstorm"; where it was going to hit; what it was going to do, and the risks of life that may occur. For over a week, people had the right and the chance to early vote, clear out of town, or in some way avoid a lot of the problems. The ones that didn't, claimed that they couldn't, or just claimed that they are so stupid that they didn't know or care about what was coming. Even the bedridden people have the right to vote early, and expect a voter helper or family member to help. Everything is in place to vote. There is NO excuse for not voting. Wanting to put it off, just because others might be less willing to actually do something in order to vote is wrong, and is sending the wrong message to everyone else. I don't care if I had four feet of snow and had to walk uphill for five miles in order to vote, I WILL vote, or I WILL keep my damn mouth shut. The thousands that died so that I will have the right to vote, don't have a voice, but if I refuse to vote, then they all died in vain. I don't have to have the ability to control the weather to be in control of my rights. Just because you may feel that you are a bit put out by voting, doesn't mean you have a right to demean anyone else who is willing and able to do their citizenship obligation.
