Politics. I really hate them, so until now, I have avoided commenting on the entire election. I have been seeing arguments for and against each side of the races... local, state, federal. It amazes me how badly people treat one another in the name of politics. I see and hear what I thought were perfectly sane people talking like the apocalypse is coming if so and so gets elected... and it doesn't matter what side they are on, because both sides are saying the same thing. All I know is that life will go on, just as it has before. The way we as a nation treat other nations, the way other nations treat us, the way we treat each other as individuals... it all comes in waves and circles. I don't know where this election will leave us as a nation. I just wish for once we could go back to the days before we began locking our doors, distrusting our neighbors, and hating people we once called friends, all in the name of politics.
I was watching Matthew Perry's new show, Go On, the other night, and there is a character on there who is married and lives not only with his wife, but also with her boyfriend. When asked how he can be so happy all the time, he explains how he has made up an old town called Harborville. It has 700 people, and he knows all of them by name. He goes to Harborville (in his mind) whenever he needs to escape the realities of his life. There he is happy. There everyone treats each other with respect. I think we all need a little Harborville in our lives... and a lot less nonsense.
