I'm sick of political ads and I approved this message. I saw this on a tshirt and I liked the saying. It’s past major election time this year and “my” candidate didn’t get elected. It doesn’t matter what party I wanted to get into office. And it really doesn’t matter what I think ‘cause they are going to do what they want to do no matter what “I” want.

Do I have an opinion? Of course I do and I do talk about it with some, albeit very few. I have no problem expressing my opinion when I think it’s going to do good, or the person I’m talking to is REALLY listening. But political debates with friends and acquaintaces? No way! It’s a waste of my energy and time.

My hubby is a wonderful debater and very passionate about his views. Just because he is very passionate should not imply that I cannot make up my own mind. It also should not make anyone believe that he made up my mind for me.

I’ve (sort of) paid attention to politics in the past years. I know how to read and I know how to research. But more importantly, I know how to read and research about all views of a subject. I do not immerse myself into material covering only 1 point of view.

There is no moral to this rant.
