Purple
Land

So
here's the deal...
The
election clearly showed that the
country
is
almost split 50/50 in terms of our
vote.
But,
when you look at electoral maps, it looks like this sea
of
Red
and a few tiny Blue islands. That's just not
correct.
If you
looked the
percentage
of the vote in most states, it wouldn't be red,
OR
blue.
...it
would be purple.
You
can see more about the picture above here.
(This
is the map's
creator's site)
You
can also see a county-by-county assement of the same theory
here.
There's
also a great essay about this here.
Then,
there is this
interesting little meditation on
Purple,
sent
to me from my friend, Paula, after she visted this
page.
This
is not a Red/Blue partisan issue. And, as if to prove
this
I
was interviewed by a Repubican Radio Show,
called
"Republican
Radio"
that originates out of the Seattle
area.
You
can listen to my interview here.
And
all this inspired me to a new song, called "Purple
Land."
Hope
you enjoy it, and may you find it healing in
these
troubled
times...EF
