Choices

You are soon to make a choice that will have profound consequences for whatever time you choose to make yet another choice. For a moment, let's look at a number of factors that characterize or influence the manner in which we make our choice of one item or action over one or more others. Choices that we make in our lifetime can be classified as either: smart or stupid; good or bad; easy or difficult; etc. Notice that in each case the words used to characterize our choice are at the opposite ends of the spectrum.

At the time we make a choice, we may have spent some time beforehand attempting to wrestle with the decision making process. We try to analyse every aspect that will influence our final decision so as to "make sure" that we have examined not only the expected benefits but the possible detrimental aspects as well.

On the other hand, there are times when we tend to make "snap" decisions / choices without any or very little attempt to think of the possible outcome. Hopefully, this type of choice making is used to arrive at a decision regarding not earth shattering but simple things like, "what color tie should I wear today", or "should I choose the pie or cake for dessert".

In the opening sentence of this blog, I mentioned two choices you will soon have to, or want to make. The first of those choices is, "For whom should vote on 18 MAY" or "Should I vote at all". The answer to the second part of the first choice is definitely, "YES". The first part
requires some thinking. It does not matter to which party you may swear some degree of allegiance.

If you do not spend some time attempting to examine the qualifications of each of the candidates, the choice you make can then be compared to a "crap shoot". It will be like playing "Russian roulette" in which a six chambered pistol is loaded with just one round of ammunition. The chamber mechanism is then spun and the pistol is then pointed at the head and the trigger pulled. The chance that the chamber with the one round in firing position is a one in six chance. If it is in the firing position, the "game" is over!!! The only redeeming quality of the "game" is that if the chamber with the one round is in firing position, the person holding the pistol will no longer be with us to make any other stupid choices.

The second "choice" you will have to or want to make is, if you fail to examine all the aspects of the candidates, and you make the "wrong' choice for the position of Governor, do you want to continue living in the State of Pennsylvania.

As it is, our State is in dire straights financially. I do not believe I have just told you something about which you were unaware. If you just look at those candidates who are vying for the position of Governor and what they have stated as their "platforms" (plans how they would govern our State), it should become crystal clear that there are some (in fact most) who do not have a clue how to get us out of a critical situation. Recently, there are a couple who have parroted the only one candidate who has been very forthright in his plans how he would govern our State. Gee, I wonder why the others never thought of how to accomplish it before they heard Sam Rohrer explain how he would do it???

Before you dismiss my recommendations, before you totally discount Sam Rohrer as the only candidate as the singular candidate to be our next Governor, please look at the two web sites www.samrohrer.org and www.PTCC.US . If you choose not to at least look at the two web sites, I recommend you start making plans to attempt selling your home and moving to whatever location suits your fancy. Remember, you will perhaps not only be affecting the rest of the time you spend in Pennsylvania but you famly's as well.
