and time.

I think we lost the election because of the lack of people on the path to enlightenment. That is there is a whole lot of greed, hatred and ignorance in the country. That won the election in my eyes.

I would say we have more generosity, empathy and wisdom then most of the country. That means we have more people on the path to enlightenment. I am proud of them and proud to be associated with them. So I am proud of my state.
