Unlike most of the letters I’ve seen in publications recently, I’m not going to tell you who to vote for or why A or B is the best choice.
My grandmother used to tell me, “You’re not entitled to an opinion until you know both sides.” It’s amazing how many people simply check a box because of their affinity for one side or the other of the political scale or because they believe what they want to believe. Yes, a lot of it is confusing or hard to understand because our lives are not spent in a political bubble and it’s difficult sometimes to make heads or tails of their jargon. (By design, I’m sure.)
But please spend a little time figuring it out or ask someone else who knows how to decipher the fine print. You may end up with a law that is completely contrary to what you thought it was and it could affect everyone in a way that you did not envision.
Please be informed. Our ancestors were a lot smarter than we give them credit for. Thanks grandma!
