As Americans, we need to go back to the very beginning and figure out where our starting point is. Once we do, we'll have a much better understanding of where we're going. If we don't, the aimless wandering of our government policy will continue to drain away our wealth and prestige, and hopelessly partisan arguments will hinder our ability to remain the most powerful nation on the planet. This post is a call to every person's sense of reasonableness, and I hope that this attitude can become infectious and we can start forcing the more radical people on both sides of the debate back into the shadows...or even better bring them further into the light.
It is only with the light that we can expel the darkness.
