With election season coming to a rapid and dramatic close, it seems like a good opportunity to let everyone know that they suck. Have you noticed that this election has become tribal in its vindictiveness? People are just making things up because they can’t stand the other team. I am as horrified by the people who say “I’ve never voted Republican in my life” as if to say that they never stopped to consider the possibility that there was a person not on their team who might take better care of them than a fellow Democrat; as I am of the people who are running around calling Barak Obama an Arab or a Muslim as if that necessarily means that the man is evil and untrustworthy.

Let’s face it, each team is trying to grab and maintain power. I think the best thing we could do is begin to form coalitions that defy right and left to make change happen in the world. More on that later.
