As we approach this presidential election cycle, I admit that neither candidate excites me. Having said that, I also must admit that there is one candidate that actually scares me.

It seems that this would have been a good time for a real third party to emerge, and allow for some younger candidates with new ideas and perhaps some overall cooperation, dignity and respect.

I hope that voters will look at the reality of the two presidential choices and be honest about what we might get with the choice that you make.
