That may be selling out, but I want my vote to matter.

Carson is an interesting candidate, though I am not sure a former brain surgeon would make a decent president. Those skills do not seem transferable to me. Admittedly, I haven't had a chance to really examine any of the candidates currently on the ticket. I am, however, bummed that I missed Christie on the train, since that is in my neck of the woods. I am thinking that I may be sitting out this election, or voting for Deez Nuts, just to make a point.

Once the actual time gets closer, many of the stranger candidates will, I hope, disappear. Rubio is more moderate. I originally thought jeb Bush might be a possibility, but things aren't going terribly well for him. Rubio seems to be a more viable candidate. The voters in this nation seem to prefer youthful and better-looking candidates.Such should not be the case, but it is.<br /><br />Regarding my place in the grand scheme of things, I take it all with a grin of salt.

Well I have great news. Let us make it more personal for the fun of it. We can go to China and have as many children as we want. They are changing their law.<br /><br />Your brother makes fun of you for feeling that you are the most important thing going on. Is it possible that everything that happens, does so for your happiness? I feel that way-- that everything that happens, happens for your happiness. How can that be? That would be a real miracle if that were true. It is true.<br /><br />Many people decide to get married and consider it the happiest day of their life. Then 50% of them decide to get divorced. So maybe you think that you would choose things differently if you were in control. But maybe you do not know everything that is going on and do not everything that is going to happen in your future.Chuck Bluesteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01291807414895185920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485729541580426717.post-70725687291133219432015-10-29T22:49:53.382-07:002015-10-29T22:49:53.382-07:00I really believe Carson and Trump are a temporary ...I really believe Carson and Trump are a temporary phenonmenon, although I've been wrong before.
