Respectfully disagree..
Accomplishments start with commitment.. we have had little commitment to anything but party line BS.. Why not come together and seek the accomplishment of things rather than the continued divide?? We may not all agree with it but at lesst it gets things done to the displeasure of all and from that we continue to bridge our paths towards compromise of many accomplishments..
There are some issues that are uncompromiseable.
You have yours & I have mine.
When one looks to Politics for answers one has lost their way.
The true course we need to seek is finding what we as individuals can do that gives us the best chance to utilize what power we may have.
I have been on this site now in my fifth year.
The division we see has not improved much of any thing.
Those on the right have reinforced their allegiance to their leaders who have shown no real interest in fixing the problems we face as Individuals.
You & many like you have chosen the path you wish to see.
You made your mess now you are paying the price.
The price you fail to acknowledge.
I now face not only the affects of aging.
I also have to deal with the effects of a government that is functioning poorly.
I have had to be & still am a part of a society that has shown little interest in the problems of average people.
My having been able to avoid much of the harshness that many have seen has let me have a more realistic look at life.
Living in a World that is crumbling around you & look at the way it is happening needs each of us to revalue what has been going on.
We all need to look first at our self & then at others to draw the picture of what it truly is we want to see.
It has gone past the time when we can trust any Politian to truly save this Nation.
To save what it is that we truly would like it to be.
So I say much as Harold Hill said in Music Man:
"You can talk & you can bicker. Talk, Talk & bicker, bicker.
But you have to know the territory."
I have been blessed with what is needed to function in the world around me.
Many are not.
It is sad that number grows larger all the time.
Leaving many to choose actions that lead to a less that desirable out come.(From both the well off & the poor.)
Choosing to ignore & do nothing to ease that gap allows the sickness we face to just keep growing.
We allow our self to be divided over this issue & let it erode away at that what we once had.
I don't see many good days ahead for most of us.
I can not & will not give up in looking for the trust in each other that we have to find & release.
It is what we all are here for. (Each other)
The World is ours as individuals to do what is right for each other.
I have seen in you & most others that you have with in you to be the person you could be.
I say that means we need to look at as complete of picture as we can.
