No lasting injuries. You're right about our process. We should elect presidents for three year terms and then every fourth year wing it while they campaign for a year. Or an even better idea would be to elect for a six year term with no ability to be re-elected. We'd still have to put with a year of campaigning but at least the Commander in Chief would be leading instead of kissing babies. That's if you buy into the idea that he actually leads. That takes me back to local politics where things really happen. Okay...I've said my piece. I'm joining you in your vow of silence. Thanks Bene. No lasting injuries. You’re right about our process.

Local politics do affect our day to day more. It needs the provincial (state) and federal levels to do their jobs. But a year of this electoring is unbelievable and I don't understand why it has to take so long. I’m sorry to hear about your tumble, I do hope you are okay!

You're right...as far as I know, the price of tea in China is the same. Not to lead you away from your vow of silence but...it amazes me how many people get all excited about the presidential election but never pay a bit of attention to what goes on locally. Local officials really have more of an impact on a persons day to day life. Just my opinion... I fell down the stairs last night. You’re right…as far as I know, the price of tea in China is the same.
