As you may have noticed, I deleted my latest Facebook diary. I definitely was far from a happy camper when I saw the ‘Your socialist boy is losing. You need to join the winning team and the democratic ship ain’t it!’ comment. I reacted the way I’m sure many would expect, but that’s no excuse to call someone a lemming.
You could say I’ve exhibited one of the very things I have come to hate: knee-jerk reaction. That’ll happen when you try to educate someone and they flat out refuse to listen no matter how sound the reasoning is.
I think it’s time I stopped dealing with people who see elections as nothing more than the NFL Playoff season. Politics and elections have never been a game to me, and considering what’s at stake this year, we can’t afford that kind of mindset. I know my mind and my blood pressure certainly can’t.
See ya around,
