President or the circus around

Colorado Springs CO

Description

This is a thought on voters needing help seeing their way to finding the best president inside the current media circus, pre-election. I'm 64, a general contractor in El Paso County for 27 years, 3 sons in their 30s, 2 grandchildren 5 and 3. I decided that in 2016 I'd pay some attention to politics. In the past I had just watched silently. The first step was realizing how much I really didn't know. The second step was getting Trump information. It was easy. 95% of the bad was not actually factual with a media twist. Everything after that (not Trump) was shocking. A little more of it every time I listened to the radio or 90 minutes of YouTube. Media didn't even have to finish a story 2-3-7 days later. I kept waiting for something to happen that had something to do with a country, a business. I couldn't believe how ignorant the general public was in terms of how to make a decision. Well, they hadn't had any practice or education on how-to. After being polite a few months, the term "stupid" was in my vocabulary daily. Not really fair. My definition of stupid is having factual information and knowingly making decisions contrary to the fact, that leaves an experience/event/vote with less than what could have been. Ignorant is not cruel or dysfunctional. It's just having zero information. The Kovid scare didn't help. Government and department leaders turning into political people. They could easily have the ability to scare people into many things,,, wars perhaps. Voters need to trust information. Most don't have time to do their own research for truth. Maybe it's a bad thing on a day like today, to say that. I say it however in the hope that the missing and the veterans still here, with the best voters would be even more honored with good leaders, the presidents as truly the best people, not just some president. I think a veteran wants to hear a sincere president on Memorial Day who truly cares. They do know the sound of the difference. My father was a fireman and his brother a state highway patrolman. As a kid I never got to think that black and white was sometimes 0001% gray. That statement should not to be reshaped by someone to sound as if the statement is about skin color. Don't waste your time. The statement is only meant to identify that voters inside what is taking place in the media today, could be better served with being able to trust fact from fiction, black from white. Police, were usually first to an auto accident (in 1970). My uncle once said, "at the scene of an accident, if you can't identify (observe) what you see well enough to say this auto accident needs paramedics and firemen, then your level of assistance is less than someone who can. Carefully move out of the way and let someone who can help." At a presidential election, if the people can't find good factual information (in a circus media), how could they identify (observe) the most appropriate candidate? I don't know that this country (right now anyway), could come up with an exam for a voters license. Would a "C" grade even be someone that should vote? Try to imagine who should decide what would be on that exam? Thank you.
