Let's Call a "Time Out"

Over the past several weeks, I have found myself getting more and more irritated by what is about to happen in this country on November 4th. A very close relative of mine, whose opinion I appreciate, reminded me that for someone who is unable to vote in the US general election, I sure as hell had a lot to say about it. And I must admit, he is right.

My frustration is not so much with who will win or lose because I really don’t believe that it is a presidency that runs this country. I have always believed that the people run this country and I trust that the people will correctly choose who they need right now to lead them.

Would I prefer a Republican President over a Democratic President? Absolutely!
Will I be able to live happily under a Democratic President? You Betcha!!
Will I feel the pinch of higher taxes? Probably not, since you can’t lose what you don’t got!!

What I finally realized today was that there is so much going on in today’s world and we citizens and residents of this country are oblivious to it all. If it does not have the names of either Obama or McCain in the sentence, neither the press nor the public are spending too much time discussing it. We are being bombarded day and night by the press with election coverage that started over a year ago and has been relentless. We have stopped being horrified by headlines which should rattle our very core beliefs.

Obama is a Socialist…McCain is too old…Palin spent $150,000 on clothing…Biden
puts another foot in his mouth……..Who cares?

Here are some real important stories:

• SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea's military warned Tuesday it would attack South Korea and turn it into "debris"

• WASHINGTON (AP) - Two white supremacists allegedly plotted to go on a national killing spree, shooting and decapitating black people and ultimately targeting Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, federal authorities said Monday

• CHICAGO (AP) – A 7 year old boy was found dead earlier Monday in the back of an SUV with a bullet through his head, ending a frantic search that began after the shooting deaths of Hudson's mother and brother three days earlier

• WAKE COUNTY NC (AP) - The husband of a jogger found dead near her North Carolina home was charged with her murder, capping an emotional, months-long investigation

• COLUMBIA, S.C. — A 14-year-old South Carolina boy faces two counts of murder in the deaths of his mother and unborn sister she was carrying, authorities said Monday.

And maybe this one says it all:

• LONDON, England - London's iconic red buses could soon be plastered with the slogan "There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life," in an atheist advertising campaign responding to a set of Christian ads.

HAVE A MAGICAL DAY
