“A nation that forgets its past, has no future”.

Winston Churchill

Today is the day that most or many , but not all take the time to cast their vote. I am not sure why people decide not to vote. I have heard it said, ” It doesn’t matter anyway, the president is already chosen”. I don’t know if that is true, but I need to cast my vote because this country is a Republic. I want to participate as much as possible in the process that I have control over which is my vote. I have heard news agency and I have read articles that keep call this country, the United States of America a Democracy. They are wrong then, now and they will be wrong in the future when they say it again, again and again. Each time they will be wrong. This is a Republic which means we have representatives from our individual states and for our leader the president of the United States of America.

This is the time to make a difference to choose a president and vice president. I have probably never really liked any of the presidential candidates since I have been voting. It has always been about the lesser of two weasels, or lesser of two evils. The last time around I voted for Hillary Clinton not because she was a better candidate. I just felt Trump was fine for TV drama, but not to be the leader of the free world. The leader of our free country. I didn’t think he was fit to be Commander and Chief of the US armed forces. In fact in the last 4 years, he reminds me of a woman I went out with. She and I spent 10 days together on a European cruise. If you really want to know an individual, spend it on a cruise. She wasn’t able to hid things. She has the same character which is she couldn’t let things go. Over the littlest things she would be so vehemently mad. You would think something terrible happened if you got to observe her. I am talking about their character.

“Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power“.

Robert Green Ingersoll …………about Abraham Lincoln

Regarding their character. I ended up going to therapy after that trip to Europe. My therapist and I worked through my issues, but first we talked about her, Ms. V.. As I explained the incidents that happened which were very painful to me. She told me what she thought about Ms. V. My psychologist felt that she was most likely a borderline personality disorder, bipolar and obsessive compulsive disorder. I think these also explain our current president. His impulsive behavior and the way he can’t let little things go. He has to comment or tweet about this thing. My therapist told me that borderlines are master manipulators and compulsive liars. She also stated Ms. V is narcissistic. I also noticed she never apologized for anything. Would not acknowledge anything she did was her fault. For instance, through out our luggage tickets. She would not take responsibility of throwing away the tickets. She blamed others for loosing our luggage. (If we had our luggage tickets it would be easier to find them.) I know I didn’t go into all the details about this trip. We the American public on on a trip and it is time to let him go. He is not well and I don’t know what happened to him. I know Ms. V was either neglected or abused( verbally, sexually or physically) in someway which broke her.

After I voted in 2016, I went to bed thinking Hillary has this in the bag. I went to bed. In the morning I was shocked that she lost. Literally my mouth dropped down when I heard the news. I didn’t know it was estimated 46.9% of the possible voters out there DID NOT VOTE !!! We need everyone who is eligible to vote to actually go down to the polls and vote. The Roman Empire was around a lot longer then so many countries. Even they only had a hand full of really great leaders. They were around for 500 to 1500 years with only a hand full of great leaders. Why would you and I expect this election to be any better? For me so far in my life time, the presidential vote has always been the lesser of two evils. I see Trump as the worst of all the candidates. He lies to much. Spins so many things way to much. For example, he didn’t bring peace to UAE and Israelis. It is something that was out of his control. All I can say is you need to read about it.

We have been on this drama trip for way to long. I encourage you to vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris because they are the best ones on the ballot. I am not saying they are the best. Of course they have their problems too. I am saying they are the group which is the lesser of two evils. I believe, they will certainly go by norms that have been established in our Republic. They seem to be more law abiding then Trump to me. We need someone who will bring our allies together again. There is plenty of bad things going on in the world. Lets not keep adding to it. We need unity in the world, so that we can heal the world of climate change, and the bullies of the world. Trump won’t be that person. Vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris who will move us in a healthy direction.

I am a man who grew up in the 1980's. I traveled to the Midlands of England as a Christian missionary. From that experience of observing people there and the people in California. In my 20's I realized that people aren't all that different from each other. Sure we speak different languages and we live in a different geographies, but that is really about it. The only real change has been technology. People are people. I found it odd while in England doing missionary work. I was talking to lots of people. Most people weren't open to talk about the 2 things that dictated their lives. That was politics and religion. I really believe it doesn't matter what century one lives in people are people. I try to read a lot of different books. I find history fascinating especially Roman and Greek history. When I returned to California in the mid 80's, I went to the local Junior College. I took a political science 101 class. This one particular section in our text book stuck out to me. I was amazed about what it said about people. That one paragraph or two stood out. It stated that people don't care and will vote for it as long as it does not affects them..... It meant that most people don't care or think about the consequences of how they are voting. The book continued saying that eventually there will come some law that does affect that person. Eventually laws do get voted on that effect each of us. Around 1994, I got involved in politics to defeat a bill that was called the Welfare initiative. It had nothing to do with welfare. It was a bill disguised as welfare, but was about the give the governor enough power to dictate all state workers wages. I only learned much later that most bills in our legislature are not clean. I wanted to create a blog in 2018 because it seems as a country we are loosing our way. Politically, I am in the center. The center of both parties. I like some of what Republicans and the Democrats do. I believe in balance.
