We've
Only Just Begun
It's
finally over. The craziest Presidential election is finally over. A well-oiled
and heavily funded political machine came crashing down in a shocking
blow nobody predicted. Shades of David and Goliath! The hopes and
dreams of every little girl was put on hold because of an unpolished billionaire
who defied all odds.
Like no other election, the amount of dirt the candidates dug up and displayed
is unprecedented. You would have to be crazy ... a total idiot ... to
hope to be President. But every year there is no shortage of idiots who
sign up for the torture. Well, this year, we got 2 of the worst idiots
to choose from --- the professional vs. the apprentice. And the apprentice
won!
This
email is shared to an international audience so I feel I need to explain
our 2-party system here in America. The Republicans and the Democrats
are the 2 major parties. They hate each other to death.
Someone
simplifed the difference between the 2 party ideologies. I will let you
guess which is which.
One
party sees the glass half full while the other half sees the glass
half empty. In other words, 1) one party considers man as basically
good, generous, fair and (in the normal course of events) will do
what's best for the majority while 2) the other half considers man
as basically evil, selfish, lazy and (left to his own devices) greed
will overcome him. That explains why one party pushes for welfare and
social equality while the other encourages self-reliance and hard work.
Do you agree with this comparison?
We all hoped for the craziness to end after November 8. Are you kidding?
The fun has only just begun.
A
wise woman inspired this final thought: It takes a village idiot to light
a match and burn down the neighborhood. It takes a village genius to raise
it up from the ashes. Only time will tell if America voted for an idiot
or a genius.
TGIF people!

from Naomi of Antipolo, Philippines
Be kind to unkind people. They need it most.
Thanks to

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the
things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. --- Reinhold Niebuhr
