Have You Ever Wondered?

Have you ever wondered why people run for political office? Depending on what office they are running for there are many different reasons, usually the last one being to make a difference. If you run for a position on the school board it usually means that you have a child that is entering junior high or high school that you just know is going to be a problem and that is going to be the only way that you can keep them in school. A State Senator recently told me that the best way to kill a political career is to win a seat on the school board. I must agree. City Council......well there are some guidelines that are followed. First you must be at least one hundred ninety years old, semi-successful to a total failure in anything else that you have ever done. You must realize that you will not actually run the city, all decisions will be made for you by three people who are the richest in your small town. You must be afraid of everything. You must be afraid of change, outsiders, spiders, fish, and some stuffed animals. Constable, well that is so you can carry a gun have a badge magnet on your personal vehicle and jeez who knows what else cause it is a useless position that should have been done away with years ago. Sheriff, well you need a Sheriff don't you? Understand that our country started with people elected that were farmers and farmers and farmers with no experience in anything but farming. So if think your not qualified to run for office go outside plant a flower seed if it comes out of the ground and a flower appears your qualified, get in the mix and shake things up. It is too late this year but two years is not that far away and you have to start somewhere don't you. Enjoy your flower.
