Constructing mountain out of a mole hills seems to say more about us than the candidates.

It says that at least some of us are not ready to come to terms with our prejudices, our small minds, our pettiness.

That we are blindsided to the possibilities that a woman or a black man can address the mostly overwhelming challenges that face us.

What if they were to find out that God was a black woman?

Seriously, who would want the bloody job in the first place.

Anybody trying to do the right thing will age ten generations in four years...

And if they don't get a heart attack, will miss out on the joys of privacy and family.

This job is a heart attack waiting to happen.

Instead of nit picking on every little thing because we are not big enough to move to the next plateau in rational thinking, we should get down on our knees to thank anyone willing to take on this impossible monumental task that no one could ever win at.

Eight years of virtually doing nothing but destroying everything and every species on the planet is hard to counteract. In some cases, we may have already reached tipping points.

And yet we argue about race and gender.

About whether somebody has the character and experience to take on the job.

I think it is not about any of those things.

It should be about introspection that we take the time to discover who we are and whether we are capable of doing the right thing? Or whether we are so full of hatreds and prejudices that we will remain biased til the very end of our days?

The truth is that we have able candidates and we should stop poking them in the eye and judge them on one thing: Their position on the issues.

If this is too much to grasp, then simply drop out and stop spewing your hatreds.

They don't serve any purpose except to show our immaturity and stupidity.

I think many of us feel this way.....

And it needs to be expressed.
