my side is ....

When we stop having sides and start putting America first - then, and only then, will things start to improve. The team mentality that is our culture these days - Team first, America second - has done serious damage to our country, our way of life, and our place in the global community.

Both sides are at fault. Both sides go out of their way to vote on issues solely out of spite. Each team making sure that the first order of business is to undo what the other team did, then do what they want, usually just the opposite, to send a message - to crotch-grab. Team first, America second.

When we reach a point where congressmen are yelling "you lie" during a President's speech, we've sunk to high school level behavior. I have no doubt that it will get worse before it gets better. We'll learn this one the hard way.

This, my fellow board members, will be my only input in political discussion. I only threw it out there so you guys would know my feelings on our political & social culture. Political discussions these days rarely amount to anything more than yell-downs - more of our bravado-driven culture.
