ROCKETS, TRAINS & THE ELECTIONS OF 2016

Recently on one of the walks we took through the Mall, we noticed three windows worth mentioning.

One depicted a desert scene complete with cacti almost six feet tall, dessert shrubbery and potted plants, all made out of canvas stretched over plaster board.

Another depicted a rocket on its way to the planet Mars .

The third displayed real railroad train tracks with a plaster board image of an old steam engine, coming at us with its head light bouncing off the display window.

My friend mentioned how far automation and technology has brought us today and suggested I take a look at The Amazing Railway Track  Laying Construction Machine on YouTube.com

So what does all this mean to me as a voter in terms of the 2016 elections?

It means that somehow I need to get my head around the fact that things like building railroads
and maintaining our infrastructure, or exploring unfathomable distances between planets are no longer a matter of ideological, or environmental discussion but a scientific fact.

I need along with my fellow voters to begin to acknowledge where we are in terms of the education science and training we need to have to move forward toward the future.

This is not the time to be cursing the weather but to learn more about it.

This not the time  to be talking about ideas that belong to the past but to recognize who we are now.

This is not the time to be advocating walls to hold back tides or people It is a time to recognize how much we have achieved economically, scientifically and educationally.

It is a time to provide the opportunity for others  to do well also when we vote in November.

SEE YOU AT THE POLLS.
