People come first

Well my friend’s thank you for going through my Political woes with me, I know Blogging Politics from the left side is Blogger suicide when my readers are mostly in the Middle of America, but I can’t help but be passionate. 

Clearly the passion is on both sides, so what did I learn these last 5 days?  Well, I learned that people who look at a big picture can’t debate with people who look at small details.  I learned that no matter how we get there, we all want the same thing and that despite our political views we get along well at a party.  I learned that talking politics is only fun for a while and you have to have thick skin.  I learned that what is going to happen will happen and blaming others and rehashing the past will not fix anything.  I have also learned that the world is big and we are all interconnected, so next time when you have something great don’t take it for granted. 

Well, I have said what I needed to whether anyone heard me or not and I feel that I have done my part as an American, even if it is from another country.  I have been trying to keep my politics to myself with pressure from my husband to turn my focus to my life here and so I will because no matter how I look at it, I won’t be home for a least another year and I haven't even touched Brazilian Culture & History yet. 

I can’t thank you enough for reading my blog and especially those who stepped outside and commented, I apologize if I have offended anyone because the biggest lesson of all is that no matter our politics people should come first because we are the government and our Political system is in desperate need of a overhaul.
