I appreciate you posting this both here and on FB, Cathy. I am going to repost here as well.
Thank you from my heart.

I just think she says it so well. I love my friends and respect their opinions even when I don't agree with them 100%. :)

[petzipellepingo]

Very true.

I could not agree more.

What seems to be lost during the heat of an election season is the sense that there are different ways of approaching the same problems. We need to be listening more and thinking more, and reacting less.

Somewhere between 85 and 95% of everything you hear during the campaign is just noise. Clint Eastwood. Whatever Biden said last. Ryan's marathon time. (His marathon time matters? seriously?)

Through all the nonsense, policy gets short shrift. And that robs the entire process of its meaning.

Well said, Elsa. :)

I have never, ever insulted anyone; although, I've felt like other people feel that I'm "misled" and almost feel sorry for me. It's a valuable read, but I really haven't see any of this going on. I guess I'm just in the right places.

I've seen a lot of nasty comments here in LJ and on FB, although usually it's not my own friends, but friends of friends, being insulting.
