“There is no collusion.”
Where did you get the money for this?
How often have you had that question asked of you? I can’t count the number of times I’ve asked my sons; been asked by my wife; friends, family, or even when I got a grant to conduct a research project on dads. Where did it come from?
Let me ask another question. What if this was the last election you’d ever vote in? Would that have any bearing on who you’d vote for? That’s a legitimate question among all the other caveats and what ifs. It’s not unlike the prevailing theme in the recent book, “The Measure,” where on their 22nd birthday people get a box with a string attached to it. The length of the string predicts how long they will live. The voting question is a valid one. And in the current climate, demands an answer in less than 100 days.
As we think about the length of our lives, have you considered what you have done that made a difference? Richard Bach, the author of Jonathan Livingston Seagull, asked, “Here’s a test to see if you mission in life is complete; if you’re alive, then it isn’t.” Ever realized that? Ever thought the reason you are still here is to vote in this election?
Every day I wake up to something new. Today among the list of things I read was the question in the New York Times on how $10 million dollars from Egypt wound up in an account for Mr. Trump. Later I read the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has set up another opportunity for SCOTUS to rape our constitution challenging decades of precedence, saying “different minority groups cannot jointly claim that their votes have been diluted.”
And then I also read where Biden calls for reform of SCOTUS, impugning their right to a lifetime job; suggesting there be accountability by establishing a code of ethics for the people who are asked to make judgement on who we can marry, who can vote, and who are immune from prosecution.

But then the thin thread on how to get to the truth surfaced. I’d read about it, seen it on TV, and heard arguments on determining guilt or innocence. It’s simple. “Follow the money.” You’ve heard “if you sleep with dogs, you are going to get fleas.” Have you also heard if you work for a felon you will wind up in jail? Actually, I just added that. But the point goes back to my initial concern about collusion. I don’t think the question is: “was there?” But rather, “How much?”
There are less than 100 days left. Remember that. Focus on facts. Avoid detour signs and listen. Think about who you are. If you are like me? I’m selfish. It’s all about me. I don’t want anything to happen to social security or Medicare. I have grandchildren who have not been born because I have childless daughters-in-laws who love cats. I love them. It’s their right and their decision. I don’t want anyone taking that right away from them, particularly a misogynistic felon who doesn’t pay his bills, is guilty of assaulting women and puts classified documents in his bathroom.
So after reading this, I want you to ask yourself “What is your legacy?” What do you want to be remembered for?
Consider this last thought as you get ready to vote. Cervantes’s character, Sancho tells Don Quixote “Tell me your company, and I will tell you what you are.”
This election is about who you are. Don’t forget. Forget about the money, forget about the courts, forget about the people you hang with, and forget about the cats. Be selfish for once. Think about your future and the measure of your life and the fact this might be the last time you get to vote.
Thank you for reading. Enjoy. Pass on…Pay it Forward
Thanks for sharing! I really found this one interesting! I wonder if we ever will find the truth about that $5 million.
