Reality check: Our country is immersed in an 'us' vs 'them' mentality. It's why we have an almost exclusive two party system, so that our voters needn't confuse themselves with more complicated 'third' alternatives. So long as we maintain that it is liberals verses conservatives, right verses left, 'good' verses 'evil', the real winners will continue to be the puppeteers who create the elaborate show that distracts us from the truth, that the single most lucrative service industry in America is the federal government, to the tune of about 20% of almost every working man and woman's paycheck. Cut the purse strings, take the windfall out of government, and watch as the puppeteers are forced to take up more honest jobs; like executives at AIG. Stephan
