Hi
Everyone,
There has been so many cruel and snide remarks
made about the people in West Palm Beach ... such
as "They're
Too Stupid To Vote!" also
"It's Not De Ballot
It's Dementia!" , etc., etc.!
I feel I'd like to make a comment (I hope
objective) in their defense.
The problem down there in (WPB) is
aging bodies and brains... We all face the awful
fact that we are losing a little of our faculties
each and every day. There is nothing more comical
than a young person or anyone in good physical
and mental shape, judging the elderly. Wait until
it's their turn!
I worked in the office of a cemetery where one
could see first hand how people in their 80's and
90's barely cope. Upon opening payments mailed
for "PreNeed" contracts we would get
unsigned checks, signed checks without anything
else written on them, confusion about
payments...and many times handwriting so shaky it
wasn't legible.
I hate to be a Monday morning quarterback ... but
the person who designed that WPB ballot ought to
be hit 100 times with a wet noodle.
First punch hole - Bush,
Second punch hole-Buchanan... give me
a break.... A lot of these old folks are barely
hanging on to their common sense judgements (not
to mention poor eyesight) and even with their age
diminished wisdom, they felt as though "First
hole - Bush" so it must
be "Second hole - Gore".
A
sad truth is that some of these old guys won't
even be around for another 4 years but while they
are alive ... their vote should count!!!!
Sincerely,
Carolyn
PS:
Anyway, that's my opinion and we all know about
opinions don't we....
