A mid-term election is upon us. I am so happy! I have missed the back-biting and he said/ she said rhetoric that is American Politics. Yet again, if you listen to campaign ads, there are no good people on the ballots. What a sad state of affairs.
The most important topic still seems to be what party candidates are affiliated with. Never mind that the world is in turmoil at every corner of the globe. Religious fanatics with weapons, health epidemics, a growing "cold-war", to mention a few. There does not seem to be a serious effort to deal with so many issues because we are a two party system that is more concerned with "getting our way" than actually working out plans to cope with real issues at hand.
As each election time rolls around, I become more disillusioned with our governmental system. The system needs significant overhauling. That will undoubtedly take a great deal of effort, or a revolution by the public like those we have seen on TV. While revolution would be fun, I prefer that serious candidates emerge to champion such a cause.
Lets hope that before the next election rolls around that several good candidates materialize......so I don't have to enter politics!
