One sneeze at a time

I'd like to start by saying,

"ah-choo!"

"bless you."

Colds are coming. And elections too.

Election of a new President of America.

"bless you too."

I feel sorry for you. Whichever of you gets the privilege - or the sentence - of serving our nation. You will be loved shortly and hated more after. You will never ever please us all and we will expect you to, Mr. New President. And when you don't, because you can't, we'll collectively as a nation represented by those counsel on the t.v. set that repeat themselves unmercifully, well, we'll insult you and make judgements of not only your policy, but your personality and the personalities of those in your family and circle of friends too. Don't worry, we won't spare a soul. We'll include your parents, and judge them too.

Here's a question, fellow Americans.

Will we be able to expect better from our politicians when we start treating them better? (I'm including other politicians in this broad term 'we'.)

I think it is worth considering. There may be many men and women out there capable of serving our beloved and worthy country in a brilliant manner- but they may be unwilling to subject their loved ones and own selves to the scrutiny of the media, which receives ratings from we the viewing people, that is propelled by sensationalism, that is based on many times unnecessary, sometimes false labeling or propaganda, that can cause an enormous amount of pain and a low quality of life.

I wouldn't sign up, would you?

Just a question, just a thought. All that in one sneeze's time.

"bless us all."
