Cool It
One reason why I find contemporary politics distasteful is this kind of rhetoric. No one gains from howls on the right and left. That kind of preaching is only to a minority of faithful anyway. The rest of us stand back in dismay and wonder what has happened to our country. (Those of us who study history know we have gone back to the future.)
It is past time to get to a middle ground where disagreement is argued more on reason than emotion. It's long past time to end finger-pointing. I would like to think PR could lead the way in this, but communicators have been some of the foremost bawlers. It is up to each of us to lower the rhetoric and get to the point.
