Freaky Times
The news always goes sideways a couple of weeks before a national election. The question is, who presents and stands behind truthful statements and who continues to lie and exaggerate. Well, it can go both ways because this is a competition here and absolute fact goes right out the window. Don't hold your breath until after the election...keep breathing and try to keep a clear head. There'll be sour grapes and cries of foul play and there will be joy and celebrations. Thanksgiving neatly follows the election (victories and disappointments) three weeks after, giving us an opportunity to forgive, forget and accept that the next four years will not really be that different than the previous four years...even though the wheel-wobble seems a little more severe in recent times. Generally, we all need to find common ground between us and act in a civilized manner, lowering the stress levels we experience for the remainder of our days.

I recall listening to you talk about politics and current events when you were in high school. I was impressed and believed everything you said, you were my big brother!
ReplyDeleteI remember this as if it happened yesterday. Mom and I were standing in the kitchen by the bedroom door. I asked Mom if we were Democrats or Republicans. Her answer was, "Well, my parents are Republicans, so I guess we are too." I was confused. I knew it wasn't inherited. I decided to listen to you more closely and choose for myself.
Weren't you President of the Student Council one year? I don't remember what grade I was in when I ran for Secretary of our Student Council but you helped me make signs and you even helped me tape them to the walls in the school. And, yes, I won the contest!
