AN OPINION AS CITIZENS GO TO VOTE IN AMERICA
The American genre of democracy is the envy of many countries in the world. I am aware of some countries that have literally "plagiarized" the American constitution because it has worked so very well for the United States, just like its economic system-capitalism, for so many years.
So, as we start the electoral process, it is imperative that we take cognizance of this POWERFUL JAPANESE PROVERB:
"THE REPUTATION OF A THOUSAND YEARS MAY BE UNDERMINED [OR DESTROYED] BY THE CONDUCT OF ONE HOUR."
