[Magdalen] Grrr....

[Sibyl Smirl]

You know what, Molly?  I strongly dislike Hillary.  I have disliked her 
ever since I became aware of her existence, probably somewhere along in 
the eighties, more and more almost every time I hear of her.  I live 
about 40 miles from the NW corner of Arkansas, so I do hear a lot of the 
Arkansas news, though much of it goes in one ear and out the other, 
leaving, sometimes, vague impressions.  As a result of this growing 
dislike, I don't think she's fit to be President of the US, and I tend 
to believe most of the stuff I hear told about her, even though I'm 
aware that there are a lot of plain lies about facts, as well as a lot 
of bias-flavored statements kicking around this election, especially on 
Facebook, from all sides.

I won't be voting for her, not ever in my lifetime, until I'm part of 
the Graveyard Vote, and if somebody votes for her then in my name, I'll 
be certain to come back and haunt them if it's at all possible.

I do feel rather similarly about Trump, probably even more so, but 
that's not relevant to this.  I'm crying for my country, for the likely 
prospects ahead.  This is not an election in which to vote for the 
lesser of two evils, when you consider that the evils are in such 
different directions and types that it's hard to judge which is lesser.

At the present time, it's likely that I'll be voting for the 
Libertarian, Gary Johnson,  or maybe the American Solidarity Party, 
which Albion favors, whoever that is: I haven't checked up on him yet, 
and probably won't make a final decision until November.  But if I'm 
alive, I _will_ be voting.  I assume that couple from Ohio will be 
voting too.

I gather you'll be voting for Hillary?  I probably wouldn't sell you a 
necklace of mine.  (There are a couple of things ironic or sarcastic or 
something about this last paragraph: I'm not certain what the term would 
be, but it's definitely negative).

Actually, I love you, and a lot of my friends like that woman, but this 
post has been itching around under my skin ever since I first read it. 
I do guarantee you that many of the negative things about Hillary are 
_not_ slander, they are perfectly true, because I observed them as they 
went by, for more than 25 years now, long before this endless campaign 
was dreamed of.  What bothers me about so many of her supporters is that 
they also know all this stuff, and they don't _care_!  "What difference 
does it make?"

Grrrrrrrrrrrr!
