Finally, I Think I'm Leaning the Right Way...

I have been undecided about this upcoming presidential election for some time now. Waffling back and forth over who would be the best for the next four years. So much hype. So much information. I've been checking on The Facts to see who is right. Both sides have made some mistakes in their claims.
But then I started to think back to 2001 and its events. I remember the "Pray for Bush" organization I joined. I remember him actually mentioning the Lord in his speech. I remember his speech. From a man who usually has trouble with his delivery (he HAS gotten better over time, no doubt with coaching), he did a superfluous job recounting 911 and I can't help but think that he was inspired by a higher power.
He has admitted mistakes and bad judgement. I won't just say that mistakes are okay, I just know that they are a realistic entity of life for every person on earth. But recognizing outwardly that you do make them is a first step in learning from them and trying not to make them again. In other words, this is a defining characteristic of wisdom.
I can't say that giving tax breaks to people wealthier than myself actually helps me out. I can't say that giving incentives to outsource jobs is good for the American workforce. But there is a bigger picture here than just what helps me out.
After all that I have read and seen, it all comes down to one word for me. Integrity.
I just think that Bush has more of it.

Did the Cock Crow Yet?

Again at 5:00 AM I find myself up. Among the many little computer errands I need to perform today, I am thinking about the task I may need to set up for someone else at school. A better way to keep attendance at school without typing in each student's name every day. I was going to use a spreadsheet, but now I think that EGP would work just fine. Just set up a big class. I can rip the names from the name log set up by the district for the TTLs.
Also, a note about some TV I watched yesterday. Dr. James Dobson appeared with his opinion that the kids today are expected to be taught in some schools about sexual deviation, as early as 10 years old. I agree with him that this is not healthy for that young mind. There is some merit in naevity for the youth. Why do they need to know this? They shouldn't be expected to deal with it yet; there are more important developments they need to go through. Everything has its time, and too much is being shoved into the tender brains of youth today that should be kept discreet by those of us who should know better.
