Totally agree with that, nightling.

There's a very telling piece on politico. com today, called "The Lost Senate". It's about the changes in and the decline in civility in the US Senate, and it touches on some of the issues in this thread as far as people getting so polarized that they start to forget how much they actually have in common. The basic premise of the article is that, as Senators have spent more time with special interest groups and at home with constituents, they have spent far less time with one another. They have abandoned the old rules about not campaigning against one another, and they rarely see each other outside of a few highly partisan events. As a result, they don't know one another as real people, and the Senate has become polarized to the point of dysfunction. It's a long article, but interesting.


They have mostly become corrupted by the system and bought out. America was bought out. It happened before in history.
