A Divided Country

This article is worth reading.

The part that it hit me is how divided we are on the issues, and how our leadership has left us didvided. They have spent time on special interest needs other than our own.

Last I wrote about the primaries and how devoid they have become. I think we need to open up to more then two parties. The two parties have become a clearing house for two sides of the political system respectfully. They have polarized the political landscape, but have left the wishes of the people off the landscape. Everyting from the war to immigration has been ignored. Maybe we need a new approach.

Make it possible for more parties, and affordable to run thus cutting down on the needs for corperate contributions, such as pubilic funded campaigns and free campaign advertisements on the airwaves, which belong to the people. One could only hope.
