Some things to keep in mind this political season:
• If someone disagrees with you, it doesn't mean they are stupid.
• If you are passionately for or against a candidate -- it doesn't mean you are right.
• Your disdain for one candidate or another says something about you.
• If you dismiss the opinions of others, then why would they listen to you?
• You really don't know what is best for your country. All you have are thoughts, perceptions, dreams, hopes, prayers, and ideas. Cast your vote according to what you think is right. Accept the results without whining and complaining. Whoever becomes president has the world's hardest job and needs your support.
• We have to grow up and learn how to have adult to adult conversations. This means that we respect each other and seek first to understand.
