What caused the election results?  Your guess is as good as mine.  The major conclusion I have from reading all your posts, is that we all have ended up living in our own bubbles.   This is in part because many of us have stopped actually talking to other people.  We just post!  Its time to stop posting and start meeting, start talking.  My wife hosted a 19th ward meeting yesterday.  We had a diverse group of around 11 neighbors get together.  We talked, processed, and got some things done. We shared good news and also shared what we each do. We now have better connections.  Did we have anyone there with drastically different views, no.  But none of us see the world exactly the same way.  If you want to make a change, start getting together, talking, and working.  There is another election in 2 years.  Voting was down in the city this year.  That has to change.  Lets make that change happen. Posting and online petitions don’t make change happen.  People meeting and talking do!
