There are a couple of things I really wish we knew how to accomplish. One is how to begin de-polarizing our nation. If Kerry/Edwards wins this fall, there will be about as many disgruntled/alarmed people in the country as there are people right now who perceive outrageous mindsets and alarming actions from the current administration.

Mind you, I believe that most of us who see clearly the danger we are in on the course we have set under the bush are far more aware of truth and justice and tolerance and just plain decency to our fellow man than any of the die-hard, believe-in-my-leader-to-the-last-gasp people who will be disenfranchised in a regime change. But I really do think we have to find a way to defuse them- or this country will lurch from one crisis to another for years to come.

The other thing that I wish we could accomplish - and this needs to be done very soon - is to find a way to let everyone in this country know that there will be some kind a surprise, whenever it may occur, so that the people of this nation don't jump on an unstable, nonsustainable, unseemly, inappropriate band wagon.
