My Rambling Thoughts
My computer is still feeling ill, not enough
memory.
Ready
to watch the debate tonight. Hoping for a good one, but not expecting very
much…the bar is now so low. I am so honored…Sen McSally, Joe Biden, Kamala
Harris, Barack Obama, the police benevolent society, and a couple of pollsters
have all called me this morning on my landline. I told them all to stop
calling, but they just kept talking like they couldn’t hear me. I hate election
season.
I
saw a news story last night about the troubles in Nigeria. They have the SARS
police force that started out to stop drugs and corruption. Now they are a
force that simply arrests young people for dressing nicely or having an iPhone
and kills many of them. After lots of demonstrations they have been disbanded.
No cheers yet as the disbanded force has been rehired as SWAT teams doing the
same thing. So sad.
My
local paper has had lots of ‘stolen political signs’ every day in the paper,
much more than other political seasons. Turns out it is a felony to steal or
destroy such things. Our HOA does not allow any signage in our windows or front
area. A friend pointed out several things to me: This year the signs seem to be
only helping the political divide widen. Our democracy has always had secret
ballots, so why advertize and give up that secrecy. Grouping many signs in an
open lot can be a distraction to drivers. It is doubtful that these signs
change anyone’s vote. Signs are not cheap. Now ask who gains from all the
signs? Probably the sign maker is the only one.
