As we approach the elections, under 100 days I believe, we can expect the frequency of the negative advertisements of one candidate bashing the other to continue.  Where I live, it’s already begun to a high level of intensity.  It honestly makes me sick.  When I look at the multiple full color printed items that arrive in my mailbox on a daily basis (of which I throw away without looking at them), I think of all the wasted resources that go into these ridiculous elections.  What a joke.  Talk about an unproductive allocation of resources.  Have they started already where you live?
