How many of us have sang that
song over the years, but really
sang it in the later 1960's?
Those were turmoil times. The
draft... and people arguing over
the use of it..Vietnam War, and
elections. Sounds kind of like
now. Except we don't have the
draft,.... yet.

One of the nice things I find about
today, 2008, is the fact there are
a lot of people interested enough
about the elections that there are
discussions about it. Some times
heated, some on the edge of heated.
Each side thinking, how can the other
side be so stupid to want that candidate.
Even hearing the saying... the stupid will
be punished. But the answer to that, if
that is so... we all will be.

This is one time I am so really glad I am
of the Cafeteria Party. And also the old
saying of never discuss religion or politics
is combined this time, as they are entwined,
whether we believe it or not.

We are getting closer, and this has been
a loooooooooooonnnnggg run, and I think
we are all getting wore out from the distance.
I just hope it doesn't get nastier as we head
downhill to the election day. Hope they will
keep focus on the real problem here.. the
economy, health, educations and etc.
