You both hit it right on the head.

The old fight fire with fire axiom seems to be the law of the land today.

Coming from someone who feels ostricized by both parties, I'm completely taken aback this year by the polarity of the body-politic.

Most disconcerting to me are the great generalizations made by both sides in this ...... we can't really call it debate can we? ..... lets say Bout of Roe-sham-beau.

I came from an extremely small community, boasting both blues and reds, but none of us could honestly think that either side was actually 100% wrong or right. We also knew that if we excluded any member of the community for his beliefs, that the group as a whole would inevitably suffer.

The states always amazed me at how we generally don't have 2, but 2000 sides on every issue. I find that enthralling. But I get distraught at the fact that the goal of so many this year was to beat that 2k down to 2 again.

That being said, having not seen any non-biased reporting either-way in a couple years, maybe objective journalism is just boring shit. If it made any more money I'm sure we'ld see some out there.
