You non-voters could have really upset all the
prognosticators – and made them rethink their tealeaves! But you didn’t. Did
you think all their punditry discounted your one little old vote? For those who
did not stir their stumps, shame on
you!
And now for all you winners – some of whom were my choices –
watch what you say today -- which might mean check your heart, and think
about the bigger picture!
Think about all
the people who voted – and those who skipped the ballot box, who still do not
understand the power and privilege and responsibly they could have exercised.
Remember you exultant winners you have been given an
opportunity to serve more than your own constituency – you have nothing
to lord over anybody! Nor should you fear the media who may want you to
fail.
Finally, unless we all learn to listen to each other, no
victory – however stunning – matters. And unless we learn that, our national political,
cultural and religious heritage, mixed bag that it is, is worth preserving, reforming
and passing along to the next generation nobody won anything.
The
Presidential Debate-Round Two – My concerns have not changed.
