Nothing about this election excites me.  Maybe I've seen too many of them, voted in too many of them, and been disgusted with most of them.  Nothing is new about this one.  McCain is too old, Obama should be in the pulput and Hillary is spouting the same old Billisms.  About the only thing that caused me to raise an interested eyebrow was when Ron Paul talked about the Fair Tax.

I've been a proponent of the Fair Tax for three or four years now.  To me, it's the only thing that will actually work to get this floundering country out of debt.  The biggest problem is people just don't get it and the ones who should get it simply won't take the time to investigate the facts.  And forget the under forty crowd, most of them are too electronically wired to their ipods and cellphones to get anything, much less read anything intellectually enlightning.

I will, of course, trudge down to the polls and vote as I have for more decades than I care to mention now, but where to aim the dart this year is still up in the air which, all things considered, might just be a good place to aim it.
