Super Tuesday: Let Me Tell You How To Vote

Although I am not in a state that is part of "Super Tuesday," nor am I in a state where a primary or caucus has already occurred, I am going to tell you how to vote.  My instructions are relatively simple:  Vote for the person YOU think is best qualified for the position.

It's that simple.

It doesn't matter who your neighbor is voting for.  It doesn't matter how many commercials you've seen for one candidate or another.  It doesn't matter what your favorite celebrity says.  It doesn't matter if the candidate is the same race, sex, religion, or any other plethora of social statuses.  What DOES matter is what YOU think.

You may not agree with all of what your candidate stands for.  As a matter of fact, chances are that you WON'T agree with everything.  But if he or she stands overall for what you believe in, and then vote for that candidate.

I believe that we, the American people, can make intelligent choices and decisions.  Despite all the name calling, the rumors and often, the downright lies, we are capable of making our own INFORMED decisions.  I think we know that being informed has very little to do with what's said in sound bites on TV or posts on social media.  We will be voting for the person who we feel will be the best person to run OUR country.  This isn't something we should take lightly.  I have confidence that most of us will take the time to make our own informed decision on who that person will be. 

I could tell you who I feel that person is, but that doesn't matter.  My opinion should not matter when it comes to casting that vote.  My opinion matters to me and it is worth sharing, but when it comes down to it, your decision is your own and should be based on your own thoughts and opinions.  I could yak on and on about why candidate x is better than y, but that's nothing but annoying.  (And I think we've all been annoyed enough with the media circus.)

So if you are in a state that is voting today; go out there and vote.  Vote for the candidate that best fits what matters to YOU, not to me or anyone else.  Today, YOUR opinion matters.  YOUR voice matters. 

Today and any day that you have the opportunity to cast your vote, cast it wisely.  Cut through the fluff and know who stands for what.  Know who aligns best with your thoughts and views.  That is the candidate you should vote for.  


That is how you should vote.

We Have Taken America Back

Image
Back to a time when all men (and women) are not created equal.  Where women's healthcare is determined by men's laws and not by medical professionals. Where education tells only the "winning" side of the story and truth does not matter.  Where banning and burning books is a social event.  Where people who are "different" than those in power can be mocked, shunned and hurt with no real consequences. Where lies are acceptable and integrity is  just a word on a page We have moved into a time where rage is the rage.  Where hate is not just normal, but accepted and even cheered. Where leaders can ask to have their "enemies" killed and no one will bat an eye.  Where it's "funny" to see someone struggle.  Where felony is applauded. Where compassion is not shown and caring for others is looked down upon. We have taken America back to a time of pain and suffering for many.  Back to when the "haves" can have and the have nots don'...

It's Not About Starbucks (or is it)?

  About a block and a half from my home in a major intersection.  At the southeast corner (which is nearest to me), is an empty building.  Back in 1995 it was a Bank of NY (I remember this because they didn't shovel/de-ice their parking lot well and my husband fell and broke his ankle one Monday morning.  I recall this clearly because we were not yet married and it was the first day of a new job for me.  I had gotten on the bus to work and he was catching a later one; only he never got there.  Instead he ended up laying on the ground until an employee came to open up the bank.  Then he had them call an ambulance AND my mother who took control of the situation until I arrived home that night blissfully unaware of what had happened that day.)  It eventually became a Chase Bank; the second one in my small little town.  It eventually closed.  I'm not sure when but it's been empty for quite a long time.  (I do know that it was open in 20...

As Is

Image
  Today I want to discuss what I think it is a relatively simple concept, but may be difficult for some, even an attorney who might have once, over a decade ago won a  prestigious award  for young lawyers .  That term is "AS IS." As you may know, I volunteer in a thrift shop.  Everything we sell, from all the donations we receive, is "as is."  The items are not brand new.  They are not perfect.  That doesn't mean they aren't any good or worth something. They are sold "as is."  Buyers should go in knowing that. (After all you are shopping in a thrift shop!)  In some cases, particularly when we are offering higher end products, we will actually write on the price tag, "as is." Such is the case of two designer purses that I purchased from there this summer.  (I'm a purse-aholic!  Don't look in my closet.)  They were reasonably priced (especially when you consider the name brand), but each had an "as is" clearly marked o...
