I have made it a point to remain quiet regarding politics since my return. As we get closer to November, the rhetoric gets worse and facts become blurred by nonsense and pointless argument.

The truly unfortunate fact of the matter is the public at large are the "morons", not the candidiates. The political folks simply do what they do. It is really up to the people to think about what they are doing and cast a vote accordingly. Worse, the majority of the voting public would not know an issue from a tissue and would wipe their collective butts with it ( to borrow loosely from Lou Reed)

It has long been my opinion that NO ONE under thirty should be allowed to vote. (I realize the younger crowd on the Board are lighting the barbeque now to roast me) Quite frankly, EVERYONE should have to pass a civics exam prior to getting a voting card. The public, in general, have NO idea what they are doing, which is why the likes of an Obama or a Hillary get a chance in the first place. There, I said it.

The system is not going to change. The word change has been tossed about all election long, like there is suddenly this revelation among the population, courtesy of some clown campaigning for office, and they all suddenly 'get it' and will forge bravely into a new future. Bah!! Not going to happen. The change is NOT needed in government, it is needed in the public. That is where the problem is and will continue to be.
