Prejudice is opinion without judgement.
Something To Think About
With the election looming in the near future, I am growing more concerned about the direction this country will take. I keep hearing from people that they are going to vote for the “lesser of two evils”, with the hope that the candidate, whether it be Obama or McCain will be able to lead the country out of the problems that we are currently in and the ones yet to come from the proposed bailout of AIG and the market as a whole. I don’t hear a lot from the “true believers” of the Republican or Democratic parties, my guess, is because both parties are divided about their candidate, and if truth be told neither Obama nor McCain will have a united party once one of them wins. This will make for a tough time for either candidate to pass their vision for America’s future into law.
Then I saw this quote from Albert Einstein:
No problem can be solved from the same consciousness that created it.
John McCain and Barrack Obama are both part of the Washington D.C. crowd. They are both active members in their respective parties. As part of the collective political consciousness that created the current problems we are dealing with as the American public, how can either of these two candidates be the solution? Ignoring the political campaign rhetoric and hyperbole, and viewing their past voting records through the prism of the Einstein quote, one is forced to conclude that they cannot be part of the solution.
So before you vote, think about that Einstein quote, and then ask yourself: “Is voting for an Independent candidate really throwing away my vote, or actually voting for a workable solution to the problems we are currently facing as a nation?”
The Aquarium
We went to the Atlanta Aquarium to spend some family time together in the middle of our hectic schedules. While all of the pictures are of the inhabitants, we also stopped in to see their Titanic exhibit. Interesting exhibit, a little small at roughly 200 pieces, but some interesting facts were displayed on the walls. But they wouldn’t let you take pictures.
