I am sure this sentiment has been expressed many times before but it bears repeating. We Americans are deeply divided and intolerant of each other. We pick sides and use simplistic rhetoric to accuse and insult the other. This is a democracy. The choices we make matter. We have made terrible choices because of our intolerance. If we do not come together, we have no future. This chicken hawk debate serves no useful purpose. It only divides us.
I admire your eloquence.
