Tis the season!

OH NO - More political talk from John.

I was reading a couple of blogs on the New Herald website and had to take a step back and say WOW are these people negative, glad I'm not!

It did make me think though.  WE should be talking politics this time of year.  WE have a very important election coming in a few weeks.  WE should be talking about the issues, the candidates, the future.  WE are at a crossroads in this country. 

As you notice the word WE keeps coming up.  Everything is up to us, the voter.  WE may disagree with each other, WE may dislike one candidate or another but WE need to have polite, open and INTELLIGENT discussion.

I personally believe that this is the greatest place in the world to have been born, educated and have the opportunity to fail or succeed.  I lived in a third world country for 3 years, believe me running water is pretty cool.  I wish that many things were different here, many can be changed.  It is still up to US, we have the God given right to determine our own destiny.  No elected politician is going to decide whether I succeed or not.  No one but me has the power to determine my future.  Will I make mistakes - absolutely.  I will learn from those mistakes and do better the next time.  It, whatever that is, is up to me. 

Think of this when you vote this November.  No matter who you are voting for, VOTE.  It is our right, a privilege and a duty. 

See I am positive, optimistic and grateful that God let me be born here.
