Well, this last week or two has led me to think that middle of the road thinking and or political ideas are sort of hard to come by these days! It seems that the media and the group's they play to are more interested in decisive thinking than cooperation! Human nature being as it is, the right is busy condemning the left and the left is hurtling insults and retorts. Dividing people along race, class, or any other trait is a well used and proven way to establish and maintain control of the masses! Try to understand that most governments use this to avoid accountability to the people who actually possess the power! When you vote, you need to make those you vote for and against personally accountable to yourself! Just apply the principle of what has MY elected representative done for ME during this term of Congress! If the answer is nothing or "I don't know" then it's time to change representatives! Vote early and often! ??
