I agree, Warren. I learned a college word in freshman Sociology class that I think applies here--ethnocentrism. Although with the Internet our world seems to be shrinking, even within the U.S., let alone the world, cultures and values are diverse. Learning leads to understanding. But there are differences that sometimes form a gulf that can't be bridged. It is then up to us to preserve our values and liberties the U.S. Constitution provides.
Amen Warren Amen.
I'm so ready for this election to be over and then hope we can find some way to actually TALK to each other, regardless of which camp we're in.
Thanks.
I'm not quite sure the population is as polarized as the current crop of politicians. To be fair, that may have been the case before the Civil War until the Secession occurred (or maybe even until the first shots were fired.)
My mother has a solution that I repeat with attribution whenever possible: any vote for candidates comes with a box at the bottom "none of the above." When you check the box it subtracts one vote from each candidate. The winner is someone with the most votes, and the number has to be positive.
If no candidate gets a positive vote, the parties try someone else. Continue until someone wins under the rules.
It would force parties back to the middle, where most of the voters really would prefer to be governed.

Well said. EB
Randall031,
It will be a relief.
James. Your mother is a wise woman.
James,your mother is such a wise woman. I vote that she be allowed to overhaul our extremely dysfunctional political system.
Randall031, I'm with you there.
Warren, thanks for not outing me.
I was the friend who sent the satirical post thinking it was true. It wasn't from the Onion or any known satirical outlet but a new one that had just started up and it was written like an actual news article, so I got fooled. One of the big problems I've seen with this whole electoral cycle has been the extreme stances politicians (on both sides) take that would seem surely to have come right out of the Onion's pages, but unfortunately turn out to be things people in political office are actually publicly saying or espousing.
I'm so ready for it to be over.
Linda,
In this election it is hard to tell reality from satire. Nobody would believe it if it were written as fiction.
