Dear Clearwater,
Who will you vote for as president in November?
I am trying to be rational--so I swing back and forth.
I am tempted to vote for Kerry--just to punish Bush for being so cavalier about starting a war. He brings the world to the brink of destruction, when most people in this world just want to have a good life with friends and family.
Yet I know the fate of the Greeks who ruled their world in ancient times. They refused to fight and lost all to those who would.
Did our actions in warfare cause Libya to ask for peace?
What is the positive and negative fallout of our actions in war?
Does it make a difference who is in power? Does it make a difference who I vote for?
The political strategists say that 1) If the focus is on Kerry, Kerry will lose. 2) If the focus is on Bush, he could lose.
Odd but true, neither man is perfect. The flaws show up in the light. But why can't we have a through analysis and comparison of each? Perhaps it's available and we don't even know.
Perhaps the greatest benefit of this whole election process is that each citizen is allowed the right to vote-- thus setting an expectation that we "can make a difference." Note I said, "expectation"--it's our choice whether to make that a reality or keep it "just an expectation."
