Politics . . .

. . . has simply gotten too nasty.

I have contributed to the muck, so I pulled down a few posts.

I have decided that minds are made up, the country is equally split, and both halves are continuing to lob (figurative) grenades at each other.It's been going on for sixteen years straight. Thanks to Bubba and the Devil With the Blue Dress On (thank you Mitch Ryder) and to those warped individuals who think atomizing themselves will grant them 72 virgins instead of a place on the Outer Ring of the Seventh Circle of Hell. I don't see much chance of it abating for another eight or so.My little blog stands no chance of making a difference, so I'm cooling it for a while.

There won't be another political post until the day after the election - when I will either post "YAY!" or "SHIT!"

Since the French and Iranians have already chosen Obama, what would my opinion matter anyhow?

I totally agree with you -- things HAVE gotten too nasty. I have a brother on the police force in Chicago, and he says they're already preparing for riots -- whether Obama wins OR loses. Either way, they're expecting some out-of-control emotion. It seems like politics has become too much about emotion and not enough about reason and logic and at least a modicum of mutual respect.

But I'm with you -- I'm putting the political comments aside for the time being. I usually try to stay away from the subject anyway.

Thanks for stopping by my blog!
