It's Over - For Real

This election season (the several years long that it was) has been tough on our country.  It might be fair to say that we are not sure we even like each other anymore. 

We have certainly heard much criticism of our politicians, neighbors, society, and government.  Of course, some of the criticism is well deserved, making it harder to hear. 

At Thanksgiving, perhaps we can change our perspective for a moment to remember some of the common treasures we have. 

It is so very easy to take our freedoms and democracy for granted.  We not only have the right to freely explain what we think is right or wrong, we also have the well-grounded expectation that our leaders will actually heed the ruling we citizens make at our voting booths. 

Perhaps they won’t fully understand the message we thought we were sending, but they will in fact leave office and take office based on who won or lost in the election.  Looking at Syria and other countries, we see that this is no small thing.

When we pause to reflect this Thanksgiving, noticing the absence of political ads at long last and the fine food, we can also appreciate at least one of the many treasures of our citizenship.  As we ourselves give thanks, we and our staff wish you a happy and appreciative Thanksgiving.  ©2012 Gruber Law Office, Ltd.
