Campaign Issues

Today, I had the um, "opportunity" to overhear a diatribe given by one to another over the phone. I was not eavesdropping--that would imply I was trying to hear the conversation, when in fact, I was not--I was trying to not hear it; however, it was unavoidably boisterous. And here is what I learned:

There is no point in purchasing a vehicle that is good on gas mileage because we have an election coming up and we vote for people that have our interests in mind and we vote for people that will govern us. What this means is we will vote for a president who will lower the price of a barrel of oil because that is what we want--we are angry with the current price of gas and will elect accordingly.

There is no need for the United States to be dependent on foreign oil. Our only problem, from what I overheard, is that we are not drilling in the United States. We apparently have enough oil to support out needs here in the US if only we started drilling.

So, there you have it... and what I'm thinking is that yesterday's post about people not voting, maybe I was off point; maybe we don't want everyone voting.
