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.
