What do you know! I pretty much agree with that whole thing, as written
Some good stuff in the post by dwna1a as well. I agree there is room for common sense gun regulation. And I agree that the second amendment is important and should be protected as we hammer out improvements in our gun laws.
The Media and Donald Trump are selling "Hate" as an American value, but I think we are all better served looking for common ground, than buying into the fairy tale that anyone who disagrees with us is an "idiot", or "trying to ruin the Country". Turns out that it is possible for reasonable, well educated people to disagree. In this country we can do that and not get nailed to a tree. Welcome to the USA. In fact, God help us if we all start thinking exactly the same on every issue!!
Yes, the ability to have a political debate in this country without rancor and hatred entering the equation is pretty much gone. Compromise is pretty much gone from the system. It is what made this country great. Regan and O'Niel couldn't have been farther apart philisophically, but could put that aside for the good of the country. We seem to have lost that. It is now a giant game of gotcha. I never liked him, but I would kill to have BILL Clinton over Obama because Clinton knew how to compromise. We can debate where this all went wrong, I woould say it started with Obama, Reid and Pelosi. You would probably disagree. One thing is certain, if it continues we are f'd as a country.
