I’m so looking forward to
Wednesday, November 3rd.
What’s exciting about this day?
This is the day after the elections and maybe, just maybe when the phone
rings, it will be a real call from a friend or relative, not a political
one. And when I make my daily trip to
the mail box at the bottom of mount “Wisk” there will finally be an absence of
political propaganda. Believe me there
is nothing anti American about my dislike for the above, but the whole process
is just too damn long. I’m not surprised
when voter turnouts are low…..people are just tired of it all. We all want to make good decisions when we
finally sit down and vote, but we learn so little from the ads. Candidates from both sides tell us that if
they are elected great things will happen, but the unfortunately never tell us
how they will accomplish it…..I never see the plans. And please stop telling us how ineffective or
bad the other guy or gal was.
A few years ago while on
a bus tour in Nova Scotia, Canada, the bus driver told us about the election
process in Canada. It seems that there
is a definite time limit to campaigning prior to election. I guess they are confident that people in
Canada do not need to have candidates messages pounded into then for months and
months. I for one would be happy to see
us latch onto that procedure.
Maybe we could then reduce
the 5.2 billion dollar cost for the midterm election somewhat put some money to
better use. I promised that these Blogs
would not be political and since there are no sides involved here I’m still
living up to my promise.
