Why Even Vote?
First, allow me to say that I will not attempt to sway your vote one way or the other. Frankly, I am not an admirer of either candidate. I never have been. My wife and I have two sons—both young adults—and like you, we are aware that virtues like “respect for others” and “polite behavior” are a reflection of character.
