It's a few days until Election Day, and I'm already cranky: every time our home phone rings (a sure sign that the caller doesn't know us--our friends use our cell phone numbers to reach us), I've been answering it with "if this is a political call, please hang up now." I'm tired of being asked for whom I've voted.
But I'm far more tired of hearing both political parties call each other names. I'm not "stupid" if I vote for someone you detest. You're not stupid for voting for someone I detest. We should realize that smart, goodhearted people can disagree without being disagreeable.
Demonizing people for their thoughts is a bad way to go, and it betrays the foundations on which our country was founded. Cut it out.

In your words...BRAVO!!
More than anything, I think this is just a huge waste of money. And not only the money spent directly, but just think about how it indirectly affects anyone trying to place a legitimate ad for their business, for whom it is now more expensive.
