Shortsighted

A week from today is the election we have all heard so much about in the last few months. As you know (or should know) I have studiously avoided political comment here in my blog, as well as making comments on other people's politically motivated posts. Truth be told, I came to that personal choice late. I wasn't always above making political feelings felt, but I made a conscious choice somewhere along the way and since then, I've pretty much stayed away from making political comments on political posts. If anything, I have looked for ways to comment that avoided the politics in the post. I figure my opinion is just that, my opinion, and isn't any more or less valid than anyone else's. I don't think it's my place to try to persuade you to my way of thinking. You are smart enough to make up your own mind.

Now, I said all that to say this. Tuesday, coming, is your chance to step up to the mike and give your opinions and your choices a voice. What ever they may be. Left, right, red, blue, up, down or sideways, your have a chance to make yourself heard. However softly one vote may speak, when joined to the voice of all the other votes that echo yours, you begin to make a noise.

Make up your mind to be heard this coming Tuesday. Make up your mind to go out and support your choices. Let your voice be heard. Make sure you make the effort and get out and VOTE. That way, everyone gets to say, "Win or lose, I voted." Win or lose, we all win if you vote. Vote.

Peace.
