So it begins… Tonight is the first Presidential debate for the Republican candidates. I am looking forward to watching some of it just to see what some of them will say, it should be amusing. I figure they will have to cover all the hot button issues while never mentioning how neither party could work together to actually solve any of the countries problems. All I can say is- this is a bit early for politics. I remember in third grade our school held elections for student officers. One speech stuck in my mind this sixth grader gets up in front of the whole school and promises everything that a kid could want – longer recess, less homework, soda fountains instead of drinking fountains. All the young kids bought it hook line and sinker. Cheering and clapping and, as kids, not even knowing if he had the power to do anything that he promised. Both parties are to blame for our current mess, but I will still vote in the primary and the general election… If I didn’t, I wouldn’t have the right to complain.
