Recently we had mid-term elections in the United States. There was what seems to me to be a rather large swing. It was making me think about our election over the past decade or two. I wasn’t thinking in terms of Democrat or Republican. I have been thinking about the swing. The analogy that has been coming to mind is a car being driven down a road. I feel like we used to drive down the road and as we started to go outside the lane, we would make minor course corrections to keep us in the lane. Lately I feel like we aren’t doing that. Instead, we are swerving. We swerve left, swerve right, swerve left, and the swerves are getting bigger. I feel like we have had instances of swerves in our history. However, when we had them, I feel like the car slowed down so that we could make those swings more safely. I don’t feel like that is how it is anymore. We are gaining speed, and I’m just hoping we don’t roll this car.
