@farmreporter gave me this challenge - since your election day is coming up very quickly - is to put John Quincy Adam's quote into a photo (while keeping it NON-PARTISAN).
Here is the encouraging quote:
Always vote for PRINCIPLE, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is NEVER LOST.
I don't if this fits but it goes with a FB post I made recently - I am muting the hate. When political ads spew nothing but negativity I hit the mute button no mater their political affiation. When people post or share attacking ideas I will not like. I even hit hide for shared sights that talk anger. If our leaders cannot unite us and welcome diversity then the movement has to come from us. So plese mute the hate and offer your hand in friendship to all. This is one of the thousands of hateful political ads that have been plaquing the tv and I mute them.
Well done to meet the challenge Joan. I would have failed miserably on this one, we have had so many changes to PM's in Australia of late, that I'm struggling to keep up with who's in and who's out, let alone who to vote for.
Very well done and yes, it works perfectly.
I think the intent of John Quincy Adams was to encourage people to get involved in the process - and yes - you are getting involved in the process.
It;s a FAV!
Before the tv officially died I muted EVERY commercial because they're all just mindless garbage! Slip and fall lawyers, drugs for everything, it was really starting to annoy me! Anyway- the tv's gone now so I don't have to do that anymore and I'm not really missing it either. Good idea- and keep it up!
I stopped watching tv 5 years ago, and I haven't missed it a bit! I do still read news stories, and it's painful to see have low people have sunken. No less than Socretes wrote, "When the debate is lost, Slander becomes the tool of the loser." Too bad debate is no longer being taught in high school...
I do not have a TV set. Politicians are already so trained that even body language is cheating. Their appearances are attacks of opponents and promising the impossible.
