65A A Probable Hiatus

8/1/2016

0 Comments

 
Both of this year’s political conventions are now over and my way ahead is clear.  I know for whom I will cast my vote and I wish that I wasn’t going to have to live in a world where the “news cycle” was going to be dominated by the ups and downs of the various polls, pronouncements, stupidities and outrageous statements of political candidates for the new three months.  I confess that I have no desire to see a continuation of the political quagmire of the last few years, so my path seems clear…
 
Unfortunately, I had one of the moments recently, which may be best explained by the following:
Picture
As a citizen, I refuse to ignore my responsibility for the care and safety of my country, that’s what the right (and responsibility of) voting is all about, so I’m going to vote.
 
However, I have, at least generally, tried to keep personal, political opinions out of this blog.  I didn’t start it to carry on, eloquently or otherwise, about my politics.  Those who know me, can probably figure out how I will vote.  I don’t care.  I, however, do not wish to raise my blood pressure (or those of my readers [if any]) and increase the stress in my life by discussing the virtues (if any) of any candidate, nor the outrages (there have already been some) of any candidate, either.
 
What this means is that I MAY be ever less regular about posting entries to this blog than usual until at least after the election.  I’ll be happy to exchange emails with anyone who wants to write me individually, but I think it’s going to be harder than usual to focus on the sort of thing I usually write about during “campaign season.”
 
So take this as a warning, if you don’t see a new posting for a while, it’s not because I’m dead, I’m probably just disgusted.  After all, the only form of government worse than a democratic republic is everything else, but even a democratic republic can be a little hard to stomach at times.
 
LATER…
