Hi Humans,

Don't be shy. If you want to comment on my blog entries, please do so. You don't have to be a dog to say what you think. or if you have a pet dog and want to have your dog speak for you, that's also OK. I would like to hear from you or your dog.

POLITICAL PRIMARIES



Hi Humans,

So what do you think of the primaries? You humans have this thing called politics. And at those primaries you can see the best and worst in human political behavior. The contrast is striking. The best is in the Democratic Party debates. Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have different positions, and they debate those differing positions vigorously. But they don’t attack each other’s character. Whichever one wins the nomination will need the followers of the other to win the election, and they both know it. Now, it looks like Hillary will probably become the nominee, but Bernie’s strong showing has put a spotlight on his ideas and has demonstrated that many Americans agree with him.

On the other hand, the worst can be found in the Republican race. Their debates have centered on name calling and character assassinations. One gets the feeling that they really have nothing constructive to say. The one candidate who has stayed above the fray is Kasich, the guy from Ohio, and of the remaining candidates he has collected the least number of votes.

Like so many human endeavors, at your best you guys can really be the greatest of all the species, but at your worst you’re not nearly as sensible as us dogs.
