Watching a Soap Opera

 

Cape Horn Road


I have been through 13 presidential elections that I have been involved with. 

At the end of each of these elections, the next day turned out to be just like the day before. 

People who get caught up in this shit really have to start realizing that it doesn't have that much effect on your day-to-day life.  The only way that this will cause a direct and rapid effect is if the decisions begin a shootin’ war here in the land o’ the free, then all all bets are off.  But the chances of that are pretty goddamn small, .09% is my guess.  I don’t sweat odds that low and I don’t expect to win the lottery. 

If a person gets elected, he/she will spend at least a year or two trying to position their policies to make a minor impact. What people don't realize is that impact will not be to them as an individual and will take time to happen anyway. 

My advice to folks is to calm down and start figuring out what to jettison that isn’t important, because you can rest assured that the folk who pretend to be the leaders are doing just that.
