The Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela is a centuries old trek across northern Spain done by following "The Camino de Santiago", the road to Santiago. Before February of 2001 I had not heard of "The Camino" nor of the Pilgrimage. By the end of October of that year I was in Santiago after completing the walk myself. I thought that when I reached Santiago my journey was over but I see now that my journey started way before I got to Spain and still has not ended.

Feeling, Whoa, Oh, Oh
Election only a month away and this is how I am feeling.
I said last night after watching some news that I don't want to vote. I always vote but this time I don't want to. I am sure I will but it's going to be four years of regret probably no matter which circle I fill in (Oregon has vote by mail). I've never felt so disillusioned in a political season.
It's very sad to me that the people capable of running this country are too smart to get into politics.
I think we should go to the "approval" voting system. You vote for as many candidates as you like. In other words any that you could live with as president, governor, etc. Most votes win unless no candidate gets at least 50% approval. If that happens there is another vote between the top 2 candidates.
This system would eliminate the extreme candidates and moderates would get elected.
