It is election time. This isn’t a rant about how you should vote. It is a short warning about the noise. During election cycles there is so much noise…people not listening, shouting over one another, claiming those of the opposing party are totally “other”…than decent or caring.
It is my belief that most Americans live their lives closer to the center than to the radical left or right. Many in the main political parties don’t want us to acknowledge that. It is so easy to practice political bigotry rather than use our hearts and heads to make our political decisions.
This short blog is to encourage you to tune out the noise. And in spite of what the two main political parties and their mouthpieces in the media say, who ever wins, the sun will rise on the day after, and those of us regular folk who live and work with each other will still be going about the business of taking care of our loved ones, doing our jobs, loving our country.
Elections are important. A civil, caring, and thinking society is even more important to the preservation of freedom.
