A Beach Walker's Opinion

I just received my sample ballot. Don't miss the 500 word statements by the 10 candidates for governor. Edward Forchion is running on the "Legalize Marijuana" ticket. You cannot help admire his sincerity but when he advocates a "reefer revolution" and he ends his statement with " Take a Tote Then Vote" you feel the humor. Others might excite laughter or disbelieve or anger. The Libertarian wants to limit government. He supports the right o carry a gun, the use of marijuana for medical purposes, He also stands against Eminent Domain. With limiting the governments ability to collect taxes and with everybody caring an gun, smoking pot and using the courts to protect their homes from being taken from them, where is the money coming from to protect the average citizen? There are two Socialist Party candidates. The regular Socialist Party, the party of Eugene Victor Debs who in the presidential election of 1920 got almost one million votes has faded into supporting Lesbian and Gay marriages and calling for a national lottery. Oh how the idealist have fallen. The other Socialist candidate is bad enough to annoy you to anger. She wants to revive the old WPA, abolish the death penalty, establish a workers farmers government. I could not help wondering if she would support Constitutional liberties and rights. Enough, I will advise you to read the others, they are baffling and interesting

On Tuesday the 8th we will be voting on two State Questions. The first is to establish an office of Lieutenant Governor. Another do nothing office, but too wait for the governor to die or to have a gay affair and resign. A waste of the tax payers money. I am voting NO and hope you do the same. The second question has merit. Pollution is making us sick. With this proposition in place diesel soot emissions can be reduced. I have often wondered how our city of Brigantine could send out to our beaches diesel bulldozer that spread carcinogenic harmful diesel soot all over our beaches in the height of the summer season. Well, I am voting yes on Public question #2.

Let me make the point that this blog is the personal opinion of the bloger and does not represent the opinion of anyone or organization but the bloger. Get out to vote Tuesday.
