Dear Editor
Today my granddaughter asked me who was I going to vote for. After answering her question, she engaged in a long amazing political conversation.
During that conversation, she revealed to me the party to which she will vote for. To my surprise, not the one I will vote for. When I asked her why she had chosen that particular party, she not only gave me the most eloquent/intelligent explanation, with the most detailed reasons, accompanied with accurate researched facts, but she tactfully went on with why she wouldn't and why I shouldn't vote for the party of my choice, almost convincing me.
Of course, I will still vote for the party of my choice, however, not only I am very proud of the great interest in voting my granddaughter showed me, but she made me realize that some of us old folks have the tendency to want to keep that old comfortable /familiar chair, where the young people are more likely to try something new, but not without investing an appropriate amount of time in making sure to which chair fits bests in that particular space.
With that said, I want to applaud with the utmost respect all the young people that will go to the polls to cast their vote, regardless to whom they vote for .
