Tricks and Gimmicks

So here we are in another election season with this one being filled with more drama and bombs than World War I- III. It's a shame that in this time when the people have the power to interview their prospective candidates that this is not done, do we live in such a regressive state that the candidates do not answer to us but as seen in nearly all political rallies we answer to them? I take this time to remind my fellow voters/ countrymen that there is a very good reason this is referred to as "silly season." It's the season where silly reasons are exploited for acquiring votes because politicians are well aware that good sense does not prevail in this nation of ours. It's an all too common sight that people who have suffered at the hands of both parties and not held them accountable run throughout the streets praising and chanting the names of these very said people who ignore them mostly during their reign.

The power of choice is nothing to scoff at, it's a right of the people that should be used wisely and not abused. When we abuse such privileges that our ancestors worked hard towards attaining then that's a direct slap in the face for all of their efforts as such actions were meant to be treasured and used for the good of the people and to ensure the well being of the people. There is no point to claiming independence and aspiring towards self sustenance if we cannot even exercise democratic rights properly! We need to remember that the people that gave blood sweat and tears towards this "right" did so with the hope that we would utilize it with an impartial and unbiased mind as well as sound judgment. It's a shame the likes of Arthur Cipriani and Tubal Butler are turning in their graves for the sake of the immense levels of stupidity being displayed by today's voters.

To those of you that will see this I urge you to have understanding and good conscience in this upcoming election. It's not a war nor is it a competition to see who can bad talk who!! It's a democratic right that we alone as a people have the power to determine with good sense and dignity, I hope...................................................................
