I have been steering further and further away from the "News". I have completely lost my trust in what was considered the mainstream media and trying to glean something that makes sense out of the diamonds-imbedded-in-a-huge-pile-of-offal that is called the Internet is as useful as panning for gold in a played-out stream.
I haven't seen anything like this. Even in the worst of the draft-dodger riots of the 1960's and 70's we had a modicum of civility and a common ground. There were still ideologue fuckwads out there, but they didn't rule the show and there was balance and at least a modicum of respect.
I am starting to question the viability of the Union. Someone in the political leadership has to start asking questions about this moment in time. Just how far are you willing to go, in light of the current series of political character assasinations to polarize and anger a country, for your personal aggrandizement and political ends, before it explodes?
