Promises to honor Obama if he is elected

Listening to the Democratic National Convention on NPR has motivated me to write that although I will not vote for him, should "the people" elect Sen. Barack Obama, I will honor him as our president. Honor seems a word that denotes dutiful resolve more than affectionate approval and an appropriate response.

That acknowledged, it is my strong conviction that as citizens, it is our duty to know the issues that matter to us, a state that few have attained be it our long reactionary educational response and/or willful ignorance. As wonderful as it is, science and technology can only answer certain needs and we should look to other venues for more meaningful questions.
