Gilbert Mayor

Election is tomorrow, March 8th. Don't forget to vote.

When I mentioned the upcoming vote to some friends one immediately said, yes vote for Dunham. To which I responded, sorry I am voting for Berman.

The response was, "Well Cynthia is very nice."
Interesting... is that a qualification for mayor? I am sure she is nice. I would like her for a neighbor. But she is more of a socialist than Berman so I won't vote for her.
I realized that this is the problem with political and religious discussions. I have always enjoyed them so I wondered why they are taboo in certain situations. The problem is that in this game no one can agree on the rules or the goal. Those kind of games always end in argument. Contests require rules. Without some agreement of goals or a scoring system then it is just a fight.

Are there any objective rules in politics and religion? Apparently not. I was called a heretic this week for my beliefs and was told to vote for a lady because she was nice.

I only went to one debate but here are some of my notes.
In this election Dunham has tried to create an atmosphere of fear over crime and security. Mayor Berman isn't going to fire the police and let criminals take over. Its not an issue.
Dunham wants government supervision of backyard pools. Berman says parents must take responsibility. (That is a good thing)
Dunham claims fire and police support. Berman points out this support is from unions, not people.
Dunham would hire a Diversity Director if there were resources available. Berman says diversity is not a problem.
Both are chumps that want federal money.
Berman is against creating "affordable housing" (That is a good thing)
When asked about favorite part of the Constitution excluding Amendments, Dunham answered First Amendment.

Very dull and uninspiring campaigns
