Power to the People

So here we are, 10,000 feet in the air. Come in we're doing the dishes.

So here's my take on where we are.

two weeks from now, we're all going to run to the polls and vote. And then if you think that we are going to go home and sit in front of our televisions and get a result that evening, you've got another thing coming.

Most elections in other countries take days even weeks to figure out. I maintain the problems that occurred in the last election, have always occurred. Its just because the election was so close that we got out the magnifyig glass and started looking at how the votes are counted.

And you know what, its going to happen again. I predict that all of our elections from now are going to end up like that last one. We won't know for months, or until someone concedes who the next president will be.

I hope I'm wrong, but I'm very wary.


Its all a mess, but the only thing we can do is to vote. Becaue the alternative is pretty grim. And people in other countries wait for hours in lines more that a mile, just to vote.

The only power that the little guy has is the power of the vote. Because as long as we can still walk into the voting place and cast a vote, we must. No one can buy my vote. It is not for sale and we all need to vote, because even though there may be problems and controversy a tide of votes can not be turned back. One or two may fall by the wayside, but many many votes can not be denied. Our voices together can be heard but only if we stand together. The power of the many can prevail over the rich and powerful, if we join together.

"Power to the people" is even more important now than ever before.
