Americans have short memories.
I've heard the MSM say that this is the nastiest campaign in history.
Name calling...gasp!
Sociopath vs. Radical Muslim...gasp!
Socialist vs. Bushie
Sadly, Even here, on Homestead, we go there...
So, each of us needs to be a seed for teaching/sowing unity(and sorry,
but saying that Obama is the unity candidate isn't unifying the way you
think) as well as taking the long view of history. Often, in our
society, technology moves us along so fast that we forget to look back
and realize what *hasn't* changed.
Each of us, being of sound mind and higher intelligence than 'the
Average Joe', those of us who already walk our own path, need to take a
leadership role in our communities-real life communities, and try to
calm people down..
We just need to take the long view-all of us.
