Well, it has been a long
time since I last posted anything. It isn’t that there hasn’t been anything
wonderful or important to talk about. It’s just that I was either: a) too busy
DOING the important things; or, b) I just didn’t have anything unique to say
about the topic. Point of fact would be the political debacle in which we are
re-mired, once again. Of course, I have my own thoughts and opinions about the
candidates, the campaigns and the entire political process. However, most
people that I speak with ALSO have their own thoughts and opinions. Sometimes
they are similar, sometimes we differ. As long as the conversations have been
intelligent (and polite… but that OUGHT to be redundant), I’d like to think
that all participants gained something from the exchange. When the
conversations have been vitriolic, I have done my best to be elsewhere. Similar
to confusing a person’s “wants” with “needs,” I have noticed that political speakers,
from the local neophyte to the professional “talking heads,” frequently become confused
regarding the difference between their personal opinions and actual facts.
Whatever happens, I’m
certain we will survive. We’ve survived bigger fools than the two choices we
have in this go around. The only thing I really wonder is how in hell anyone
can actually be an “undecided voter.” If you haven’t done the research and come
to your own decision by now, you really need to check your list of priorities.
Do what most American citizens will do: hold your nose and make the choice
which best supports your beliefs about the United States of America. Even
though I may disagree with your choices, I appreciate your willingness to
participate in our democratic process.
