Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

Ah.  There are so many examples of wrong speech in this election that I bend under the weight of them.  I can only hope right speech will squeeze in and calm the environment post election.  The predictions are that the incivility will continue unabated, but everyone I know is exhausted and disgusted and maybe, just maybe, we've had enough of letting our inner tantrum child out for the year.  Turning off and tuning out may be appropriate later this week.  I saw in the newspaper that there was a huge surge in people going to the movies this weekend.  Well, hello.  Anything to escape the nightmare of the campaign.  I'd have gone as well, but I was busy reading a legal thriller.  My own form of escape.  I'm hoping the idea of upcoming Thanksgiving gets us in gratitude mode, and reminds us of the bounty and resources we are so blessed with.  For once, I'm thinking:  watch football, get out your aggression that way.  Just stay away from shutting down the government.  We actually need it, if you think about it.  Come on people, come back to earth.
