Troosha, being a human sieve, we get all clotted up with crap

until we can't see straight any more.  What's your technique for clearing it?

Mine is to ground, center, and run my own energy for a while.  (Maybe it's time for a post on this over in the Universe blog...)

Unfortunately sometimes the political analysts or pundits can over analyze or make a mountain out of a molehill.  So it’s also important to be a human sieve… filtering the information as best we can.  And that’s not always easy to so.  But I agree that our decision should not be based solely on what a candidate is saying but also the feedback, opinions, and insight of those in the know.

A couple of months to put up with, instead of a couple of years (or more) of listening to the bickering, sniping, lying...

We tend to vote for personalities, not issues. We tend to vote for the party of our fathers. Consequently, we do not listen, we  do not choose the better candidate.

You're absolutely right! We have our own election coming up in October, and I have been listenng to all sides! We have four of them, (strictly speaking five, but one is only running candidates in Quebec), although together they create far less noise than you two, lol. I listen, and they amuse me...
