My good friend and neighbor in Florida Robert Moreno sent me this fantastic video.

Bob emigrated from South America and became a banker after college. He traveled extensively to all parts of the Spanish speaking world to facilitate business opportunities in Latin America - bringing prosperity to many who had been without it. He is a happy family man and grandfather with successful children and was president of our homeowners association in Florida. He is a Republican and this is what I have to say to him:

Dear Bob,

This video left me in stitches and reminds me that so many times in the process of an election we forget to keep all things in perspective and take a moment to be grateful for the wonderful gifts we have and the opportunity to laugh at ourselves. I know that, to you, voting is a particular gift. You grew up in a dictatorship where people could disappear, if they disagreed, and half of native-born Americans don't even exercise their precious gift of voting. They take their freedom and opportunity for granted and that is an American national disgrace.
