Just a few questions...

I posted this on a friend’s blog (Razzle Dazzle Rose) a while back, ...before I created a blog of my very own. So I thought I’d throw it out here:

We should never forget the rhetorical stuff that it took to (momentarily) convince the nation that Bill Clinton “did not have sex with that woman.” A brilliant statesman, he was. We should also never forget the rhetoric that convinced this nation to support a war in the Middle East.

I want to vote for Obama because he makes me proud to be American. A black man running for office takes me (white-man) off the hook, somehow. Above that, he is a brilliant statesman and an awe-inspiring speaker.

I want to vote for McCain because I know that “politics” is a long, tired process, and I lean more right than left. Fear gets in my way of buying into more sacrifice of freely choosing people for the sake of governmental control. McCain’s story and candidacy, thus, seems fitting because his stance makes more sense within my limited perceptions of reality.

So, “what to do?” is the question. Do I vote due to gut or mind? Can I vote with the two combined? Since we are left with two choices, I would like to pose the following questions:

What will McCain do about the price of apples? Obama?
What will either candidate do about the energy crisis?
What will either do about Iran? North Korea? China?
What will they do about globalization?
How about the environmental plans?
What place will America play on the open market?

What is it that attracts you, to the same old shizzy?
What options do we have?
What do you revolve (and evolve) about?
Where do we go from here?
How will we ever make it?
How brave is this new world?
Who are you?
What are you responsible for?
What do you ignore?
To whom and what do you give your attention?
How will you make differences?
When will you take chances?
What does it look like when you do?

Someone from Cincinnati said to me today: "YES is already in your heart if you listen to it.  So step fearlessly."

Get a piece of peace.
