A Provocation 2 Thought

Don’t believe everything you read, hear or see (even on this site). Most of the “news” in print, on the radio, and on television is commentary. Not NEWS. Even the “facts” in a story are usually presented in such a way as to leave you thinking as the writer. Sometimes the “facts” are made up, or so distorted they no longer resemble the truth. My goal is to provoke you 2 thought. Read between the lines. Glean truth from many sources. Then… Think for yourself. Make up your own mind.

What Is Important This Election?

Let me ask a few questions…

On September 12, 2001 how many parents called their children’s schools to ask about the academic standards to which the school aspired?

On September 12, 2001 how many professional or amateur sports games were played?

On September 12, 2001 how many big screen TVs were sold?

On September 12, 2001 how many couples decided to start trying to get pregnant and have a family?

On September 12, 2001 how many families booked that big cruise vacation they had always wanted?

On September 12, 2001 how many companies placed ads in the paper to start hiring?

On September 12, 2001 how many people decided on a new health care plan?

On September 12, 2001 how much of “normal” life actually took place?

No matter what your plans were for September 12, 2001 is there anyone who’s plans were not altered or cancelled?

Healthcare is an important issue. But does healthcare matter to YOU if you are killed tomorrow in a terrorist attack?

Schools are VERY important. But does your child’s school’s academic standards matter to you if your child’s school is destroyed along with your child in a terror attack tomorrow?

Your job is important. But do you think that any of the 3,000 who died on September 11, 2001 cared on September 12, 2001 about job security?

There are a lot of very important issues in this election. And both candidates have ideas for how to deal with them. However, if there is a terrorist attack as a result of the man elected this November, who will care about all of these other issues on the day after that attack?

If you feel that John Kerry has the BEST plan and ability to deal with the terrorists and prevent another attack, even if you agree more with President Bush on most other issues, then you should vote for Senator Kerry. Conversely, if you feel that President Bush has the BEST plan and ability to deal with the terrorist and prevent another attack, even if you agree more with Senator Kerry on most other issues, then you should vote for President Bush.

If you are dead these other issues tend to pale in comparison.


Think for yourself!

Make up your own mind!
