The rage machine can't be stopped at this point without a real shock to the system---and someone will loose out. Poltics have become sport and entertainment. People are conditioned to want a fight to the death ending. Scary. Peace and prosperity are just NOT meant to be. Then again....when did America REALLY ever have a level playing field for all?

We've lost the "United" in the Unites States. Just...lost it.
