alright - thought i would pop in for a moment. from the looks of things around here quite a few cellarites are whipping themselves into a pre-election frenzy. let's all remember that this happens every 4 years and if this nation can survive JFK taking one (or more *adjusting foil hat*) to the skull, Nixon's shenanigans and the Reagan/Contra affair we'll probably survive the next 4 years no matter who is elected. i, as do most, have my preference for who will sit in the oval office for next four years but i hope we can all remember we are all (except our foreign friends) americans first, D's, R's, I's,L's, and G's second.

We each think we know the best path for the US in the coming years and hold to that thought with all our might, but only future generations will really know who was right or wrong. Politics and Investments are mirror images of each other: in politics the short term is crystal clear in our eyes while the long term is foggy; in the investment world the long term is crystal clear while the near future is foggy.

i ramble on and say that to express this thought: the person in the oval office has tremendous power. but so do we. as individuals we influence those around us and we, the little people, make up the collective america. the person in the oval office may choose seemingly asinine policies but we with our thoughts, words, and actions determine the image of america in the world. if we all pile on and exercise our right to badmouth america and its leaders and tear it down we will have plenty of company on the global scene. if we choose to speak well of america as a whole while respectfully voicing our dissent with certain policies or leaders we will probably better serve our nation that gives us the freedom to dissent.

or something like that. while i reserve the right to delete this when i sober up(all hail Appleton Estates - damn smooth rum i tell ya), i think i wrote pretty close to what i meant.

anyway, everyone hang in there - the election is almost here and a month or two after that we should know who the president will be. in the end, most of us will live through it no matter the outcome.
