Note on comments

Hello readers, I wanted to let you know that I hadn't received email notifications about the various comments I just published today. I'm sorry for the delay!  I welcome comments and good conversation.

Specific to the polling place post, I shared in our conversation via facebook comments, after truly pondering the suggestion that this was more about gender than race, that:

I'll be honest.  Standing there ... it didn't feel like chivalry ("ladies first").  It felt like he was invisible.

Obviously this is solely based on my own perceptions and intuition.  No one can know for sure.  But it made me think.
