My oldest son is in eleventh grade. There is about a month before he is off for the summer vacation. There are on going student government elections and he has informed me that he is running for President of the student government. I am very proud to hear that my boy is interested in public service. As time passes I see that my boys are actually growing up and have been listening to the different things I have been uttering throughout their lifetime while they have been around me.
At last night's dinner table, my second son is in ninth grade, suggested that he run for student council president as well. My idea is that brothers should not run against each other in the same election.
In any election, when there are more than one group running for the same office, the final outcome will be watered down because the voter base will be spread among the different parties. Unity wins, especially when the opponents are blood relatives. When the forces are joined then the end result would be stronger than if they were independent of each other.
In the United States we have a two party system for the simple reason of keeping things flowing and less complicated. The larger the choice base the harder for something to come to fruition. Even with the tradition of the Democrats and the Republicans being the two parties running elections, certain things drag out.
Brothers stay together win stronger.
