Massachusetts

After "many a summer" we have finally reached our winter of discontent.



For months a series of political candidates, more or less articulate,
have been stirring apathy in our state. And the Senate seat left vacant be Mr.Kennedy's departure , seemed a fait accompli - a democratic "given."
Nobody really cared or expected otherwise.


And then, about a month ago, things started to change.
It was like a sea wave. Soft and pleasant at the shore,
brought in the perfect storm from afar.

All of a sudden the entire country watches us.
Presidents Clinton and Obama joined us for breakfast,
coffee and teas are served with political banners,

and even more on his health reform initiative. Strange as it is, Massachusetts has already in place the health plan proposed to the entire nation.And we do not see any viable reason to incur further spending and regulations to get what we already have ...

This election will be a test of human nature, if nothing else.

No matter, the weather or the traffic, I am going to vote tomorrow.

It's more fun now.
I feel that I matter
