Don't Drink the Kool Aid!@!

Most of you may remember back in 1978 a spiritual leader by the name of Jim Jones of Jonestown, encouraged his followers into revolutionary suicide.  It was not a spur of the moment situation, for he would have trial runs by giving the people kool aid and watching if they would drink, then when the drill was over he would tell them that it was just a drill.  He was conditioning them for the real thing, because the day did come when he served all of them grape kool aid and about 913 people died.  The mothers would feed it to their children by syringes before they partook.  

It was later discovered that Jim Jones was a very ill man, and they found him with a self inflicted wound, he didn't even drink his own kool aid.  Therefore we don't want to get involved in any kind of group mentality, as all of us were taught in our youth never follow the crowd, you have a brain so use your own brain, as there is no substitute for your own intelligent thinking in processing a matter. 

Yes, indeed, I encourage you from the bottom of my heart, Don't drink the kool aid by listening to all these polls.  I remembered during the primary it was a clear thing that certain people were going to win, did they win? no they did not.  However, if we had listened only to the polls, they were very discouraging and even now we don't want to think that it won't matter as according to the polls whoever is going to win has already won.  Why should I go stand in long lines, on a cold day for nothing?  Your vote count, just as your opinion, it's an opportunity to express yourself from deep within.

Now that we are in the final stretch for the CEO of the United States of America, also known as the Presidency.  All of us have an idea of who we want to win, especially the ones that are conducting these polls, and the ones that are taking the polls.  No poll fully represents me, as a matter of fact, no one even contacted me to participate in  a poll.

I am fully persuaded that polls represents the persons that are giving the poll and according to their outcome desire to use those polls to influence you and me.  Well, I do not need to hear another poll, and it appears more polls are coming out daily, I have already voted.  Thusly, I encourage you to remember that polls don't vote, people do.  Just be sure to take your soul to the poll and then you will have exercised and participated in the democratic process.

No matter who wins the election, let us respect other people opinion, all of have been wrong before, so we all have opinions and know this that is all that it is, our opinion, so let us rise to the occasion to act like real, true, strong Americans and support whoever wins the election, because that is who we are.  So what Obama is handsome, and black, so what McCain was a POW and looks like howdy doody step brother, and as has about as much enthusiasm as a file cabinet.  So what!!!  You have your opinion and I have mine, take your soul to the pole and vote for the candidate of your choice.

No matter who wins, people will still have their opinions, racism will still be alive, the country is in bad financial straits, things will still become worse before they get better, but remember this to put your trust in God, according to Psalms 18:2 The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; by buckler and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.  When voting be sober, be vigilant...

Don't Drink the Kool Aid, and take YOUR soul to the pole...VOTE!!!!
