NY Times: Polarization is Dividing American Society, Not Just Politics

Exactly and I think that needs to be that first order of business. We can complain about sound bites all day and argue ad nauseam about our points of view on some of those issues. However, as long as we do those things, we're not going to really get anywhere. Government isn't omniscient and it shouldn't be omnipresent. It's comprised of human beings and last time I checked, human beings are still fallible.

I think the fact that so many of us actually do see this issue from all shades of the political spectrum is a good sign. We're seeing beyond the b.s. irrespective of party line and finger pointing. To those who still don't get it, I'd ask them to remember the old adage that it takes two to tango.
