In about two weeks, America will once again visit polling stations and participate in a soon-to-be archaic ritual called voting. As a tiny reward, and also to remind others to participate in the ritual, those who do it old-style - in a booth - will be given a tiny oval-shaped sticker that says "I Voted". I have often asked for a second sticker to bring home for the kiddo, and a weird feeling of pride has always come over me when I gave it to her.
