Although
our current political scene is the cause of much despair for many, one can
visualize it as (hopefully) a temporary phenomenon which may improve as we
continue to recover from the financial and economic traumas of the last few
years. There is a passion on both sides
of the political debate which may be fueled in part by a fear of what the
future may hold. If the traumatic events
and the dangers continue to recede in our rear-view mirrors, the passion and
fears may subside.
On the
other hand, we cannot be so sure, and we have to be ready to defend common
sense, the rule of law, basic rights, human decency and all the things that
make us (somewhat) civilized. And let’s
do it in a civil and communicative way.
Let’s not believe rumors we may hear about how bad the other side
is. Listening to rumors is a sure road
to mayhem.
