I voted!
There was a LINE!
ok, there were like 4 people in front of me, 2 of whom were in the wrong line. And one neurotic guy behind me worrying about the line. And no line when I left. It counts. :P
I voted "Yes" on a shocking number of initiatives.
Go go gadget democracy! And go, go the end of political spam for another short while.

Of course one definition of a civilized country (necessary but not sufficient, perhaps) is somewhere the state no longer kills people in cold blood.
Even the Japanese don't execute those convicted of crimes that occurred when they were under 18 (last I saw the US is one of a very few places that do that, along with Iran and Saudi Arabia - good company in theocracies, then).
Japan's history (and still ongoing problem) with suicide possibly ties in to the accpetance of capital punishment.
