I’ve been hearing so much about THIS election and how things are different that I went looking to the internet for some perspective. Yes the issues are large. Yes it’s a scary world we live in. But is it really all that different than it was 10, 20, 100 or a few thousand years ago?
I found the following words of wisdom and decided to serve them up for your enjoyment as well.
1. Stupidity is not a handicap when it comes to politics!
2. Spin is Nothing New
3. Friendship matters more
4. Few things in life are black and white
5. You have to be in it to win it
6. You can’t believe everything you hear (or read on the internet)
7. If you’re looking for trouble, you won’t have a hard time finding it
8. Common sense matters
9. Say what you mean, mean what you say
10. Opinions change
