Over the past few weeks I have had many close friends gently ask me when was I going to do a write-up on my outlook of the forthcoming presidential elections. Who was I endorsing or supporting as our next presidential candidate, many keep asking me. As I probed myself on my friends’ entreaty, it dawned on me that, regardless of who I supported or not, what really mattered, instead, was the fact that the 2016 presidential elections could very well turn out to be one of [the] most crucial elections, ever in the history of the nation. Matter of fact, I personally believe that there is so much at stake both for the nation as well as for the world, that the 2016 elections could, in fact, turn out to be a milestone for mankind in more ways than one – in ways that many of us cannot even envisage. And…if for any reason whatsoever you dare doubt my assertion, I say, think again friends. It is all as relevant as where we are as a nation.
