Well, we all survived this years election. We even heard the voters shout who they want in office. They turned away from the negative beat down and embraced the future. We all know that the future holds more for us that the past ever will. The past is a great place to visit but we don't want to live there. South Salt Lake has had no problem drawing attention to itself through the opinions of the people who tend to have negative attitudes. I know. I once lived with a negative and skeptical person whom listened with their heart and not their brains.
Sure it's good to be emotional. However, when your emotions get in the way, your vision can get very blurry. We can't elect people this way, especially at the local level, and we can't elect people who behave in such a manner either. I can't even imagine a person of authority having the ability to make decisions when they are so emotionally attached and blinded to the potential ramifications. The future becomes dim. We need our representatives to have their eyes wide open and have a clear vision for the future.
I think for the first time I have become witness to the awesome power of knowledge. But let's not forget, if you keep the knowledge it will serve only you. You have a civil duty to pass that knowledge on. You as a citizen would be doing a huge dis-service to your community. I hope that in the future, the public will take a greater responsibility in sharing their views and knowledge and make their local communities a place to brag about.
