Politics...

Ok, first of all there are two things that I swore I would never blog about, Religion and Politics. I am about to talk about the second one.

I will be the first to admit that whenever anyone starts going on a political rant I tune out, mostly because I believed religion and politics are the two easiest ways to start a fight and as someone that doesn't like to enter Battle Royale's I've never really paid attention. I guess you could say I was ignorant to the going's on. I also believe that a lot of the misgivings going on in the world would be eased if people just respected that someone else may not share your point of view so accept that and find a way to work together. Yes I am aware of how naïve that may sound to some but my response to that is back to basics people. We teach our kids to accept people for who they are, but I see a lot of people not practicing that.... Ok that was my mini rant, moving along....

I understand that there is an election upon us and I have this desire to make an informed choice at the polls this year. My normal decision making process when I went to vote, usually involved a phone call to my mother asking "who should I vote for?" I've seen the turmoil that the States has gone through with decisions made by their past, present and future leaders and would hate to see Canada enter the same fate so it is with that desire that I have begun my research in the various political parties to make my informed decision.


I have been seeing tv ads and radio ads for the various candidates running and the best way I can describe how I feel when I hear them is .... Ick. It sounds like a big ol' mud slinging match and I have a hard time voting for someone who thinks it's appropriate to rip apart someone's characters to gain points or followers, but I will continue my research. I do have to admit one thing though, I'm not entirely certain what I am looking to find. Lesser of two evils? The reading I have done is normally very biased towards a particular party and trying to discern the truth in all the jargon is proving interesting...

I have a lot of acquaintences, friends and family members that are very politically oriented and speak with great passion and determination about those beliefs and to them I ask.... Why? 


I will let you know how it goes, or hit me up if you can offer some assistance!
