Let's get our act together, America

The Nov. 8 presidential election is coming soon. Votes will be cast and either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump will be our next president.

Regardless who is elected, many people in our country will be unhappy.

Many people were unhappy four years ago and have always been at every election.

When this is over, will the Clinton people and the Trump people even be able to speak a civil word to each other?

If you are going to have a peaceful gathering with your family or a large number of friends, you are probably wise to not mention Trump or Clinton. The mere mention of either name brings a rise of rhetoric, debate and unfortunate anger.

Most Americans who have given our issues and candidates much thought have a lot of passion about this election and each candidate.

Social media has created a somewhat safe haven for people to share with candor how they feel about things related to this election. However, open support for either candidate means you can figure approximately 50 percent of your social media friends are ticked off at you and probably do not like you.

When this election is over, we better try working together in this nation. I don't see how we can survive another four years if we continue to fight and bite each other.

Our military needs a united America. Can you imagine fighting on the battlefield representing America while most of whom you represent are fighting each other?

Our inner cities need for all of us to come together. Our children and grandchildren need for us to pull together.

There will not be an America to enjoy if we don't get our act together in this country.
