A week from today
A week from today people will have the opportunity to vote if they have not already done so. I would hope they would consider three things before they cast their ballot. First consider the country and world as it is now and will be in the future. Take into consideration population change. The availability of resources and how automation plus technology are changing life. Look to elect people who have a vision for the future and not trying to return to the past. Second look past one issue. There may be one item such as abortion, climate change, gun rights to name a few that you have very strong feelings about. Look at your candidate’s position on all issues because you will get the complete package. If you find other things you object to you will live with them also. Third remember the people you elect will make the laws, rules and regulations you live by. They are not for the other person but for everyone. This includes your parents, children, relatives and your best friend. You don’t get to pick and choose who they apply to. This is what I would hope people base their vote on but I don’t expect it will. If they make a choice and receive what they don’t like, they will not admit it but continue to blame someone else.
