Today is election day 2016... Can't wait until it's over and we can figure out which half of the country is most angry. It's almost like waiting to see if we are entering a civil war or ushering in the apocalypse if you read much political commentary. I think both major party candidates are very sad choices... and I just can't make myself choose which is the lesser of two evils because that's still evil. Meh!
Here in Ritchie County, West Virginia the battle to be settled is whether or not one may hunt on Sunday. That a personal lifestyle choice like that is even an issue in the 21st century simply stuns me, but it is a very heated ballot issue here. Hunting is probably not how I would choose to spend my Sunday but I don't feel like I have the right to make that choice for you. And if you can gauge the feeling in the religious community from the radio ads, that seems to be a common feeling. I've listened to more than one pastor come out in support of allowing Sunday hunting because "time spent in nature is a wonderful way to commune with God."
And then these signs started appearing alongside the ones urging approval. The choices are outright approval, approving Sunday hunting on private land only, and continuing the ban on it.
If you had this choice on your ballot today, how would you vote? Why?
