i would like to apologise to....well the world in general. i can't seem to stop my self from getting into long political discussions. i feel all wrapped up in the situation. i have some strong misgivings about one of the candidates and i loathe the other. then there is the immigration issue, high gas prices, groceries cost going up, the Media sucking the way they do. and i think one of the reasons i get so.... what ever it is i get because i feel a bit helpless. i can't do any thing. i live in a stat that always goes for the dems so whether i try to vote them in or not, they are going to get it. and sense i am not rich or a minority nobody (nobody up on the hill) wants to know what i think. i think i get into these long talks is to try to see if I'm the only person who thinks the way i do. i want to know I'm not crazy(i talk to my self and i get an answer). i think a lot of us are looking for change, but what change are we looking for and how can we get it? i don't thing either of the people we have running are going to be a POSITIVE agent of change. i don't know any one that is happy with our government right now, but the same or at least the same type of people keep getting into office. we need to collectively get a clue or our country is in for some perilous times. i find great comfort in what our prophets have told us and some things they haven't said yet too. i guess all any of us can do is try to make a difference where we are with the people we have contact with.

Vote for a third party as a protest vote! That's always my solution when I can't stand either candidate in the two parties.
Bruce, I think that you should get involved with the Republican Party in your area. Both political parties are always looking for more involvement.
The parties are going to have to be changed from the inside out and it's going to take regular folks like us to do it.
I've been registered as an independent for years. However I'm thinking about becoming a Republican so that I can join the party and get involved.
I know that your time is limited but you would make a very valuable contribution to the party. You could do great things and help change the world! :)
It's frustrating to feel like your hands are tied. To feel like the world is going to hell in a handbasket and there's nothing anyone can do about it. Yet there is. Ours is a government for the people & by the people! We were meant to be actively involved. It's just that as a whole Americans are fine with a few people have all the power so long as they have cable tv.
That's sounds terrible but it's kinda true...
There is hope though. We still have time to affect change in our country.
p.s. this was a good post... i really admire your ability to succinctly capture your thoughts and ideas with words.
Don't apologize, Bruce. You are being a good, civic-minded person. There are too many people that make knee-jerk decisions based on headlines meant to increase revenue and not awareness. You are trying to educate yourself and others, that's good.
Don't give up hope for Illinois. We were purple last election!
yeah, eventually we will get the better of chicago! oh wait, i'm not in illinois anymore...dang! it's just so weird, i can't get used to it!
