Count me in! I am very optimistic because I think (and hope) that we are growing weary of all the hateful crap.

This is important for three basic reasons:

First, basic human ethics would require that we treat each other with respect and dignity, even when we disagree (and even when we don’t deserve it).

Second, the very nature of our government (who governs by OUR consent) requires free discussion of issues and crafting compromises for the common good. If we lose that, we slide into tyranny.

Third, while We The People are distracted with defending our side against “those people” with whom we disagree, politicians of all stripes are selling us out to various interests who line their pockets, whether they be corporations, labor unions, lawyers, community activists, ethnic groups, religious groups, ideological action committees, etc.

Don’t hate, Participate!

Love to all.

And ironically enough, October 6 is election day here. I’ll be working the polls for Kids Voting and won’t be decked out in partisan gear for the first time ever at the polls.

Call me a cynic, but someone will decide that the holiday is either secular and therefore bad, religious and therefore bad, or promulgated more by one side than the other, and therefore bad.

But I hope not.

If the South is the Bible Belt, Tennessee is the buckle. I even started going to church.

I knew before coming here that Tennessee is very conservative. The Republican Party is alive and well here. On the flip side, the liberal minority is very strong too.

I overheard a conversation between two people. They were both talking like raging right wing conservative extremists. Later on, one of them friended me on Facebook. Under political views, he put “moderate.”

Sometimes we get caught up in partisanship. There’s a place for that too. But we also need a safe place to focus on the issues, and not be so divisive.
