Soapbox: Voting in the Primary

I hope you voted in the primary yesterday. Why is it that people who vote in the primary get so smug; kind of like the person in front of you at checkout who takes forever to find exact change? Or the person who gives a penny with a $20 so they can get all paper money back. Does voting in the primary make you a better person than everyone else? Why do we need to get a 'cookie' for these little things? If you voted in the primary - good for you and by all means, have a cookie. But make sure you are encouraging others to exercise the hard-won power of being involved in the system. It's your right, your duty and your privilege.
