For this election, I have pretty much
remained quiet and not expressed my opinion either for or against any of the
candidates. They each have their strong points, but their strong points often
get drown out by their mediocrities.
What I am about to say has nothing to do
with being against or for any of the candidates, but it is against any efforts
to destroy our democratic system of selecting our leaders.
I am an independent voter and very
disappointed that we did not have two real good candidates for this election.
However, I would very much want to see our system of democracy remains intact.
This way, we will still have the hope for change if the outcome of this
election is not to our liking.
This has been our way and this is what has
kept our country together so far. Calling for any actions other than accepting
the majority voice will destroy our way of life and make us no different from
the dictator prime minister Hun Sen of Cambodia who has always threatened that
war will come to Cambodia if he loses.
I hope and pray that both parties will put
our USA ahead of their egos and help maintain our democracy, so that we will
continue to have our opportunity to get the right leader for our country in the
future.
On that note, I admire and am grateful that Gov. Mike Pence did not simply
go along with his supporter who wanted to call for a revolution if former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton won. Long
Live Our Democracy!
