I don't know about you, but what bothers me the most about today's political climate is how mean it's become. We used to be able to disagree without being disagreeable and without being mean-spirited. I don't get why it has to be this way now. I know lots of people I disagree with about various things and they disagree with me. But we don't call each other names; we don't yell at one another; and we don't threaten physical or legal harm to one another. We respect one another while holding different viewpoints.
Some people won't like me saying this, but it's true: there's one group that tends to be meaner than the other. Even though they currently hold all the power, some of these folks feel so insecure that they have to yell, lie, threaten, cheat, steal and - maybe - even help cover up a murder.
It feels like we're going down a funnel - spinning, spinning, spinning - not being sure how far down we'll go or what's at the bottom. Where will we land? I hope it's a soft landing, but I have my doubts.
