God Bless America!
This thread has revealed many of the conflicting undercurrents of current American politics. I have been schooled, and sometimes amused, but it now seems clear to me that the situation in the United States is deteriorating rapidly (and I use the term
united, loosely). The situation is definitely no laughing matter.
My thoughts on matters of importance have been expressed and I truly hope that your countrymen will find a peaceful and just resolution to the political dilemma ahead. Use your best judgement, consider both sides of the argument and please make every attempt to resolve your differences
without having to resort to arms.
All contributions to the discussion in this thread are a true archive, a profile of the current state of the nation for future generations to reference. Likewise, I have found that your tolerance for this concerned northerner is commendable, and it is my sincere hope that you can find it within your hearts to have tolerance for others who may not share your values and deep-seated political beliefs.
Personally, I find the acrimony and mudslinging vexing to my spirit and I choose not to be a party to the undoing of a nation - a nation that is supposed to be a shining example of Democracy, but as I have no vote, I am gratiously going to bow out of this discussion.
PEACE,
