<p>rjrzoom–thanks for those comments. I think there is much merit in what you said. I have given a lot of thought to my vote in Novemeber and am still very much undecided. For all my life I have voted according to which candidate agrees with ME the most. Which candidate shares MY values, beliefs, economic outlook, etc etc. Perhaps this year my vote should be based more along the lines of which candidate will be best for other people of this country, not necessarily which one will be best for ME. Sounds strange but perhaps my vote needs to go to the candidate which will best represent the segments of our citizenry who have not been so well represented in the past. Who will that be? I honestly don’t know yet. I do know that not much has been said this year about the level of poverty in this nation which is still embarassing high given our relative wealth in the world, or about drugs, or crime in general.
A lot for us all to think about, no matter who we vote for.</p>
