The thing I find most interesting about political debate is that it's very rarely the WHAT that divides us, rather than the why and how. For example, I think we all ackowlege there are many things about our government which are broken but where we fall apart is in trying to determine why that is, and how to fix it.


So, let's talk about what we all want for this country, in positive terms.

Freedom, liberty, checks and balances, and separation of church and state. (OOPS, I guess NOT "all" want that last one! SORRY! )

Can't say one positive sentence without throwing barbs? Shame.

I love Dito's answer... Liberty, peace, prosperity. Neardc is so right... Unparallelled opportunity is one of the things that makes this country great. We need to preserve these at all costs.


I would add that I want to leave my kids an even greater country than we have today. I'm not just concerned about my future, but their future as well.

I absolutely agree that humility and good leadership by example are extremely important. Not only in our elected leaders, but in leaders throughout society... whether they be parents, teachers, bosses, ministers, etc.
