Ballots

 Because I am not affiliated with any political party my primary ballot is filled with measures and non partisan positions. This year there are 15 positions to vote for and all but 2 are running unopposed. Now I know these positions and measures are on this ballot for a reason but seriously could we not have waited to do this until the Nov election. Seems like such a waste of time and money to send these ballots out to non party affiliated voters. There are 5 different pieces of paper involved in this. The ballot is not a standard size so more money was spent on that. I also noticed that the ballots are sent non profit org us postage paid. Lets face it, the government is for profit.

On Sunday the priest said Lent is not about giving up something but about getting back on track and getting to where you want to go. And so, this is the perfect challenge for me. FYI, I have failed multiple times already. 40 days is just way to long to be good.

Um duh. If you don't work and earn money and save for things you want you don't get them. And you shouldn't. What happened to the Americans who worked and expected nothing from anyone. Where did all those people go?
