News, Covid, and politics

 There doesn’t seem to be much news that’s not about Covid or politics.  We know Covid is still a thing.  There are several people we know who have covid right now.  Sadly, another unvaccinated friend just died recently.  But really, we’ve heard so much about Covid, now in our third year of it, there isn’t really anything new to hear.  We know to be careful, and we are.

 

As for politics, I came up with a theory a while back.  Men have been in charge of politics for too long and look what a mess it is.  So I thought, women on the whole are kinder and more thoughtful than men, right?  With women, it’s not all just about competition and winning, there is a nurturing aspect as well.  Better balanced human beings overall.  I’ll succumb to gender stereotypes.  That’s what we need, more women in politics.  For all the positions on the ballot, if there is not a name I specifically feel positive about, and there is a woman’s name there to vote for, regardless of party, that’s going to be my new default.  I’m going to vote for more women.

 

Then Marjorie Taylor Green in Georgia and Lauren Boebert in Colorado happened.  Oops.  Okay.  Never mind.
