I also see the way BOTH sides handle how things are done as a major problem.

It's not a "war" or a "battle" and shouldn't be about "winning" or "losing" to people. It's about bettering OUR country as a whole.

Whether we agree with what is passed or not, the ONLY way we will get betterment for all is through POSITIVE RESPECT and not trying to just beat people into submission. All negativity brings about is more negativity. And it eventually brings about so much negative energy, thoughts, anger, angst that people start not caring or getting more and more negative....

OUR country has too much negativity. It starts with the man we call president and flows downward. That's what I loved about Bill Clinton and Reagan. They could be battered and battered by Congress but they were in their own ways positive and tried to reach out to the other side and work together and our country flourished.

we have had since 2001 is negativity from the top down. It's no longer about "bettering the country" it's all about "winning and losing" and in return the citizens are the ones that are paying for these negative power plays.

It's time to change the politicians thinking and OUR thinking. We all are in this together. We can either work and build in positive ways or we can continue to destroy and tear down all that for 200+ years this country was built on. Teamwork, freedom, RESPECTING OTHERS, and so on.

It is up to us to decide who and what we are to be by who we elect and how we look at what positive changes can be made to better all people.

IF we can rebuild in positive ways, we will again flourish. If we continue being negative and electing negative people and looking at issues as "wars" and "battles", we will get more negativity and fall apart. We won't need an army to invade us or to go bankrupt, our negativity alone is all we need to destroy us.

The above I posted to my facebook earlier today.

Hence my apology on another thread and my anniversary work to change my tone and how I deliver my dissent. As long as both sides have leaders looking at passing bills as "winning" and "losing" OUR country will continue to divide and fall apart.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
