Labels

Well it's election time. Time to Vote. Time to make big decisions for our country and communities. Time to get labeled.

Everyone is labeled. In an election year these are the most prevalent: Republican, Democrat, Independent, Moderate, Liberal, Conservative, Decided, Undecided, Socialist, Activist, Pacifist, 1%, 99%, 47%, Needy, Wealthy... Ugh!

Have you ever bought a shirt or sweater where the label in the back just rubs against your neck and all day long you itch, twitch and bitch until you can't take it anymore You tug to rip it off or take scissors and clip the darn thing. That's how I feel about all the labels being used during this political season. Enough already!

It seems that at a time when people have lost everything they possess including lives we would stop and remember there are some labels we must always possess: Kind, Compassionate, Tolerant, Courageous.

Regardless the outcome let's hope after Tuesday we all get back to restoring more humane labels. Of course this task will require one of the most precious labels of all: Patient

Respectfully waiting,
