Monday nights during the past two months have been a refuge for me as my Young Life kids are a welcoming distraction from the election.
However, last night was anything but a distraction. A few of the high school students I know were quick to say that they would vote for Kerry if they were of age during this election, if only because he is pro-choice. In Walgreens, the man behind me in line was ranting about the latest Bin Laden tape and his newfound love of John Kerry. His political speech in the middle of a checkout line was anything but welcome. He bad mouthed our current president with such ease that it made me worry for any friends that this man might have.
Listening to this man on his anti-Bush tirade made me wonder: if we are so quick to hate and verbally strip politicians, whom we do not know personally,
what would some of us say of those people we DO know. Are we so terrified of the end result that the only comfort that we find is by bringing slander to others’
names?
This is one blogger who will be happy to see the end of this election, if anything to see the rage return back to the Seattle roads and out of store aisles.
