I did vote, and I actually enjoyed myself. For the first time... like, ever, I thought either of the two candidates would be good as president. I like Obama's idealism, I like McCain's experience, so I decided that I would be happy no matter who won.
Obama won, and I'm really happy because I really hope that the fact that he's not an established politician will mean that there's actual change made *fingers crossed*.
I don't know about avoiding Illuminati plots, though. Those things are everywhere. I got this datapad with a red 'X' stenciled on it, and the thing has been giving me missions like "buy a cheeseburger and leave it on the bus stop."
