Somebody was asking earlier today if I had seen the presidential debate last night. The answer is no, I don’t have a television nor do I have the Internet. I thought I catch the highlights of the debate on the morning news, but surprisingly NPR barely mentioned the debate. I guess there wasn’t much newsworthy about the debate.

While I will vote in the Democratic Primary come April, I am not really excited about any of the candidates or races. Politics really doesn’t interest me much anymore, as honestly I think one is better to focus on their own life, rather then distant elected officials in Washington DC. I can’t stop climate change or end the national debt but I can save for retirement and a better tomorrow for myself – and eat healthier foods, spend a lot of time in the wilderness and walk a lot.

Electing one’s ideal candidate is likely to have a much less important then making responsibile choices in one’s own life, and ultimately choosing to live in a community that suits one values. Chances are you can’t change the world but you can change your own life.
