Just a reminder




The above is a screenshot from a Nixon for President commercial in 1968. I've always thought it one of the most effective campaign taglines in modern political history, and I say this not for any partisan reason, but because it gets the message across in a way you can't miss. I suppose today's marketing consultants would call it too wordy, but considering how much of today's politics is a result of those very consultants, I'm not sure that's a bad thing. 
At any rate, my point in referencing this is that Election Day is next Tuesday, and even though it's become kind of outré to wait until then to cast your vote, I'm kind of old-fashioned that way. So for those of you who have yet to go to the polls, take this as a reminder that all elections are important. If you think one candidate can cure all the world's ills, bring global peace, reform the economy, end crime, and eradicate poverty, let me tell you, that's not going to happen, friend. Those issues aren't going to be solved by any earthly party.
But as far as your civic duty is concerned, take a few minutes between now and then and vote for the candidate of your choice. Or, if you prefer, vote against the candidate that's not your choice. Either way, your whole world—and mine—might depend on it. And anyway, you wouldn't want to see all that money go to waste, would you?  TV
