...another civil war.

I gotta assume there's something fundamentally wrong with America. And that whatever it is, it can be fixed. There's a solution to every problem. We just have to find it. Can anyone deny that there are things very much wrong? The economy, for instance, has tanked. It's bad, bad, bad. And getting worse. Nobody seems to know how to get it right. Some folks say just let things be. That the economy will fix itself sooner or later. Others argue that we need a concerted stimulus program. That unless the government intervenes, we're headed for a disaster even worse than the Great Depression. Well, I think there's a solution. There has to be. But it'll take some kind of national effort. Everybody pitching in. Like we did in World War II. But still, I sense there isn't a sense of urgency/emergency. Republicans and Democrats can't even agree over what to do. The longtime partisan bickering continues to become even more intense. Yes, we're a nation divided. We are unable to come together. Almost seems like we are fighting another civil war. --Jim Broede
