   All politics is local. Don’’t vote for the same alderman, city councilor, mayor, state rep, state senator, US Rep, US senator again. Vote in new blood And consider this, the media seem to do zero research on a candidate’s qualifications, they only report on how much they have in campaign contributions. Campaign financing, well, that’s another rant.

   Red state vs Blue state is a media construct to make pigeonholing Americans easier for dimwitted reporters who cannot grasp the concept that not every one in a particular state votes the same way. I think I first saw the purple map about 24 years ago in George W Bush’s election.

   So let’s stop assuming that blocs of people, be it by ethnicity, address, gender, or other issues feels the same way about everything. And please, if you can’t stand your uncle’s politics don’t bait him at Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanza parties. stemlounge.Com/muddy-america-color-balancing-trumps-election-map-infographic/

   I am in total agreement with JJ about the use of the word gift as a noun. A gift is the object that you give. It’s almost as bad as people who use ask as a noun when the words suggestion, request, order or demand would be more precise. I blame Seinfeld and the ‘regifter’ episode. Don’t get me started on using “plus one” to refer to a guest. That is just dehumanizing.

   That’s why I prefer my soft drinks in cans. Aluminum is recycled far more easily than plastic.

   I remember as a kid visiting NH and placing bottles from the cookouts into a box for returning. The bottles were cleaned and reused.

   My parents had a couple of those around the house when my older brothers and I were young. The theory is that my brothers and I could channel our aggressions to the clowns and not each other.
