Societal Breakdown – Education is the Key!

ECWd – Illinois

Societal breakdown was the only term I could come up with for what I see happening in our local elections.   Having seen it time and time again it became clear that emotions have become the steering wheel in most people’s lives instead of logic.

For example, logically people who claim to have family values and speak out on such a topic you would think would never support a candidate that has a track record that is inconsistent with those beliefs.  That leads to the key question, why would those people support a candidate that clearly conflicts with their beliefs?

The answer is simple, they do so out of emotion or ignorance.  We will always have voters who vote based on their emotion and nothing we or anyone else says will change that.  I do believe though that ignorance is only a sin when it’s a preferred state of mind!  We can overcome ignorance with facts, logic, and intellectual honesty.   I think the first key to doing that is to take the names of candidates completely out of the picture.  Then lay out key facts about each of those candidates and see who people pick.  Who wins in those situations?  By all indications, the best candidate wins!  After exposing the names its interesting to see the reactions from people who were surprised their vote was for someone other than who they supported prior to this evaluation.  Logical decision making is a learned process!
