i watched the first debate last night

i still can't decide who to vote for.  more importantly, i'm wondering it's importance.

i know it is important, but i really have a hard time holding faith in government.  will we ever see a system not designed to fatten the fat but rather honestly serve in the way it is designed to?  i do not think so.  every so often i have fancies of joining politics and being a part of a change to honest government, but i am never sure if it is even possible.

rocco has said his point of view to me a couple times, and it makes some sense.  he holds that governments in the end do not matter, because there will come a day when the fullness of God's kindom will change all things and make them whole again.  if we believe this, maybe we can rest in the fact that even though our world is fallen and falling apart it will ultimately be ok.

he's still going to vote.  i'm going to vote.  for whom? i am not yet sure.
