A friend of mine sent me this great article on the sad state of political discourse in our country in election years. It is sad that our political conversations have been whittled down to sound bites and caricatures with no room for subtlety or truly creative tension.
I can't do any justice by the article by trying to summarize or pull out highlights--since really either would be the exact sin the author (rightly) decries.
This should be required reading for the US electorate before the 18-month election season begins.
