Please Read before Voting!

I can’t express in words how scared I am about this election if Donald J. Trump should somehow get elected President of the United States on November 8, 2016.

A Trump supporter might say something similar about their feelings about Hillary, especially if the Second Amendment and/or Pro-life are critical to them.

However, I plead with everyone to read this essay.  This may not have any impact on your thinking one way or the other; however, I am passionate in my attempt to provide a perspective that I believe is important to keep in mind as we go to vote on November 8th. read more

An Open Apology to My Children and Grandchildren

I’m sorry…

I’m sorry for enabling the 2016 Republican Party to nominate the person they did to become their candidate for President of the United States.  I know I can’t accept full responsibility; however, I feel that I and my generation let you down.

A Time of Consternation…A Time for Fear

Our government finally allowed it to happen… We’ve become a land of consternation

I know my hypothesis can never be proven true with analysis, but I believe it will highlight an issue that is tearing apart our country.  I’ve written about this a number of different ways in the past.  But now, our country has fallen into a state of consternation and I am fearful that we don’t see it or just want to ignore it.

Maybe Donald Trump will be seen historically as the catalyst for showing the true colors of our government (Republicans and Democrats).  Maybe this would have happened even if he didn’t come along.  The point is, our government hasn’t been doing its job for many years and has now left us exposed to anarchy.  Lines in the sand, ignoring the average American’s needs, greed, money, pandering to the lobbyists like the NRA, drug and health insurance companies, etc. have left us exposed. read more
