THE CAMPAIGNS

THE CAMPAIGNS


The primary season is in high gear. It’s exciting, watching the candidates battle for the right to beat Donald Trump. The stakes have never been higher. And we all look forward to better government next year.

Pity—all this hope—and energy being expended, to get our government to act on our behalf. Trouble is that it hasn’t done that for years. The system that’s in place (thoroughly entrenched) is Rule by Special Interests. The rich get richer, paying for protection from competition, and our politicians get rich. How can we improve on that?

As dirty Harry (Clint Eastwood) would say, “Go ahead, make my day”, vote as you have before—against the Bad Guys. Read your favorite source of ‘information’. Watch TV. Hate, Hate, that will do it.

I still maintain a faint glimmer of hope. There are two candidates who might actually attack the SYSTEM . To be consistent with these essays I can’t name them.
