Who wants to go start a high-wing / low-wing debate at alt.politics? Any
bets on how long it takes to morph into a right-wing / left-wing diatribe?

Oh well. Based on politicos' jabber today, our little group lasted

about
as
long as the larger politic in seeking common ground.


Ah, well. T'was ever thus. The same thing is going on over on the
Cherokee Chat.

According to CNN, the 1964 Goldwater vs Johnson election campaign made

this
election look like some sort of a grade-school spat. Yet, somehow, the
country overcame the divisiveness and bitter enmity to grow and prosper.
(Of course, it "grew" into the 60s, which is hardly something we'd like to
repeat...)

I suspect we'll do it again -- although if you take a peek at

"alt.politics"
you would think otherwise! (Man, THOSE people are CRAZY on that

newsgroup!)
