Urban Poly Princess

I had to park 2 blocks away which wasn't very good but was great if that's a participation indicator. I'm in precint 2 in which I saw my Elder's Quorum president, the member from the stake presidency who gave me my temple interview, a high councilman who gave a talk in my ward AND gave blood later, the second councilor to the stake RS president and other people I didn't recognize.
It's so nice to use my desktop again. My verizon usb internet drive only worked on my laptop. I looove this AND my laptop is hooked up too!
I can completely see how people not in the church can feel disenfranchised and I wished people were more sensitive last night. There was one man who passed out flyers in his quest to become a state delegate. That didn't happen although he is LDS it was apparent he's not active because no one in the precint knew who he was and it was obvious who the individuals were that were in the same ward. They kept nominating and voting for each other. Another man wanted to be a county delegate. He worked for the county for 30+ years. One of the state delegates AND the high councilman also wanted to be a county delegate AGAIN since he served last year. The other state delegate nominated his wife so we ended up with 6 nominees and four spots. The retired county worker didn't get one because 4 obviously LDS candidates ran against him. Of course people will vote for individuals they know and the church is a wonderful organization to make that happen-I just think if we are going to fellowship people and make them feel like they belong we need to be sensitive to how we treat people who aren't members of the church and stop being so cliquish and learn to be more inclusive.
The entire caucus took FOREVER because there are specific rules and methods that must be followed. Some people left before it was completed. I stayed because I was already there so I thought I might as well stay to the end.
I'm glad I went.
