Okay, I'm officially OVER IT! Can anyone else hear their mother's voice echoing in the recesses of their minds saying, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything."
Well, I'm not naive enough to think that all the rhetoric in today's political climate will EVER be 'nice', but it sure would make me happier if the candidates - ALL OF THEM - could stick to telling me what they WILL DO - not what the other person didn't.
It strikes me that we are due for a change, all right - a big change. One that could take the conversation in politics from combative, competitive and downright cruel and nasty to something a little more focused in a positive direction. You know. Communicate. Collaborate. And yes, maybe then we'd even have something to Celebrate!
I believe that only when the conversation is more focused on getting things done than on 'who did what' will we live up to our real potential as the greatest country on earth. Pollyanna? Eternal optimist? Total dreamer? Call me what you will, but I hold my ground. Can't we all just get along?
And so I'll end my own personal rant by offering this nice moment - while it sure is good to live in a country where we are free to speak our minds, I look forward to the time when we can can agree to disagree without demonizing the other side.
What do you think?
