Principles


I was talking to a family member on Saturday. He feels completely exonerated from all the political turmoil right now because, as he proudly told me, "I did not vote."

He then went on to say he would never, NEVER have voted for Hilary. He wouldn't, or couldn't, say why, but he was convinced that not voting for Hilary and not voting at all left him blame free for Trump being elected, not that he felt Trump was all that bad, but, after all, he didn't do anything at all.

He said if he had voted he would have written himself in because he didn't like any of those politicians, especially not Hilary. He was proud of his actions.

He did not see that by not voting for Hilary he was giving Trump one more chance to win. He stood up for his principles.

Countries on not governed on principles alone. They are governed by people who take command through elections and no matter what you do when that election comes round, you are part of it.
