Kenny, thanks for sharing your thoughts and opinions. I promise to keep an open mind and weigh all factors before I vote. I take voting very seriously. I grew up in a home where the politicians came to bow at my father's feet and make decisions over a cigar and brandy. The "good old days"? I think not. I can only liken it to "Da Godfather". Lol Anyway I got very jaded about the politicians and how things were decided and run. Consequently I registered the opposite of what my father was. What else could I do? Now I am at a stage where I am not comfortable with voting as I am registered, so I am searching. You've given me much food for thought.
Thanks friend.....
Happy trails and take time for you.
Roberta, on the Isle.
