In these days when the world seems to be falling apart, how can so much attention be paid to rape and abortion, especially when so many of those who seem to focus their lives on these subjects are - shall we say - rather odd creatures? I guess that's because they want to be leaders of this nation and think their strange ideas are worth voters' admiration.
But, when you think of this campaign season, you realize that very few of the campaigners want us to know what they really hope to accomplish if elected. By and large, it's platitude after platitude. Meanwhile, we sink, people are hurting needlessly, our infrastructure withers, some are hoping we enter our third war of the 21st century, nothing has been done to prevent another financial crisis, our president kills innocent people in foreign lands - and the litany goes on and on. We have lost the ability to elect real leaders. We no longer believe that we are all in this together.
