Itty Bitty Seed of Hope

Trump or Clinton... Is that a choice?

Well, yes, of course. It’s a choice between unpredictable, off-the-wall lunacy and the same-old-same-old lunacy.

I can not imagine the world’s best known “unhinged” hair-triggered bully occupying America’s “bully pulpit”… with his finger hovering over the world-destroying button.

On the other hand, I find it hard to consider voting for Sec Clinton who is advised by one of the most evil people known to take a breath in this world, Sec. Henry Kissinger, and likely to continue the warmongering, neoconservative policies put in place under the Geo. W. Bush administration. Those are the “Project for the New American Century” policies which “lied” us into the Iraq and Afghanistan wars; created a bottomless cesspit of hatred, both in the U.S. and throughout the world; and, installed a plethora of neo-fascists in the State Department - who to this day remain in power, actively pushing us into a new cold war by poking the Russians at every opportunity.

November will here way too soon and we will likely be making a choice between off-the-wall lunacy and same-old lunacy.

Wait... there may be an itty bitty seed of hope. There may be another option: Dr. Jill Stein, Green Party candidate for president.

After Sen. Sanders' endorsement of Sec. Clinton, she said:

“For decades, the Democrats have increasingly campaigned on the politics of fear, promoting a lesser-of-two-evils voting strategy because ‘the Republicans are even worse.’ But that politics of fear has brought us everything we were afraid of.”

“All the reasons you were told you had to vote for the lesser evil — because you didn't want the massive Wall Street bailouts, the offshoring of our jobs, the meltdown of the climate, the endless expanding wars, the attack on immigrants—all that, we've gotten by the droves, because we allowed ourselves to be silenced.”

“People are voting for Clinton because they fear Trump, and vice versa. But democracy is not what we don't want. It’s what we DO want. And it needs the moral compass of our values to chart our course. So silence is not an option.”*

Dr. Jill Stein, Green Party candidate for president, might help plant our sanity seed.
