39 and Holding

I will absolutely NOT! argue politics or religion with anyone at any time.  My simplistic reasoning is that the other guy has a closed mind and cannot recognize that anything they might say will fall on deaf ears. Additionally, I also have too much respect for someone's opinion that may differ from mine.

My wife and I do occasionally discuss politics and religion and we each have mutual respect enough  not to let personalities intervene, so we have been happily married for over 20 years and are each others best friend.

I have never had the temerity or stupidity to tell her how to vote and she reciprocates in kind.

I have kind of unusual approach to selecting whom I will vote for in national elections generally.  I read and listen to each parties sales pitch and often will vote for the one who, in my opinion has told the least lies.

In this upcoming election I have an additional bombardment of STUFF coming into my internet connection, and it is not hard to separate the wheat from the chaff in these offerings.

This simple preachers prayer is that the folks who promulgate these offerings would respect the fact that I have the ability to reason and make decisions  without having my intelligence insulted by their blatherings.

I subscribe to one home delivered newspaper, but enjoy having several others available at my fingertips on my keyboard and computer screen. I get a wide view of the offerings of the world wide mainstream media.

I sincerely recommend this technique to all potential voters, you just might get a straight look in at the real political world.
