17 Jan We all need to chill a bit…

I’m convinced that the vast majority of folks, like 70-80%, are politically moderate, centrist, or ambivalent. But all we hear from is the extremely vocal lunatic fringes of both sides of the spectrum. Our ‘leadership’ and ‘representatives’ only seem to represent the fringes. As a result, everyone is worked up into a frenzy and we all just scream at each other (or at our keyboards), beet-red, spittle flying. No one gains anything (except big pharma companies making blood-pressure medicine). We all (myself absolutely included) need to take it down a notch if we’re going to move forward as a group.
