Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I wisely chose not to see the debate last night.  I might have actually liked one of the candidates, and then where would I be?  MY candidate would end up not being THE candidate, and I'd be in my usual situation of voting for the lesser of two evils with zero enthusiasm.  Let the herd peel off and then I'll take a look.  I'd like a female candidate, but look how that turned out last time.  Misogyny poured from the rafters.  And if I have to fall back on what candidate could win, well, I'm not participating in that speculation.  Surprise, surprise is the new politics.  Vote with your impulses, your base impulses.  I will eventually read up on everyone, and try to make an informed, measured choice, but until some of the dust settles, I want to not be on that particular roller coaster ride.  It turns my stomach.
