The game of politics, since the beginning, has been a dirty one, never more so than in this season of political savagery. New depths have been reached where the superficial becomes paramount while the true welfare of future generations is overshadowed and marginalized. The divide widens as trust between parties becomes non-existent.
A monumental ego is required to seek the most powerful office in the world, but not the all consuming greed that has infected this contest. Mr. Trump’s bombast and indiscretions may or may not doom his campaign, insignificant when compared to Mrs. Clinton’s lust to seize the U.S. treasury as her own personal piggy bank. Have we devolved to the point where locker room banter is more objectionable than corruption? The Clinton war machine is in full flower and millions are buying it. Pejorative labels show us to be a diminished society, less rational, more emotionally charged. Sad.
Prophet Alexander Hamilton wrote in 1795: “So long as we are a young and virtuous people, this instrument (the constitution) will bind us together in mutual interests, mutual welfare, and mutual happiness. But when we become old and corrupt, it will bind us no longer.”
November 8 will tell the tale; unbound.

November 8th will tell the tale, are we now old, corrupt and unbound?
