{November 6, 2008}   The Future

I’ve been thinking about it, so I guess I should post about the election results.  No, in my opinion, the “right guy for the job” didn’t win, but such is the will of the majority of the American people.  Democracy in action – the freedom to make a choice and voice it.  However, please know when to be respectful and not try to continuously jam your opinions and thoughts down others’ throats!  Just because we don’t share the same opinion on who would make the better leader for our country doesn’t make you right and it doesn’t make me wrong.  Your rights end where mine begin.  I respect the fact that (now) President-elect Obama was the candidate that got the most electoral college votes.  I respect him as a man and as my future President.  That doesn’t mean that he’s “The One” and that doesn’t mean that I approve of what his policies may be.  That’s MY right.  Let’s just agree to disagree and vow not to continually make the opposite side of the aisle miserable with rhetoric and retorts.  There is a way to come together – by keeping our mouths respectfully quiet….both of us.
