You are saying exactly what I was trying to say when posting to the right thread.The fault lies on both sides of the isle and yes i do believe there is alot of spin going on right now as well.A lot of people wont believe that because it takes time and effort to sort thorugh all the nonsense that is put out by both sides.I have to say however that I believe that no matter who was in office this would have happened because the system is so broken it is totally nonfunctional anymore.Bob Dylan wrote a song that kind of says it all.It is called Everything is Broken.Fortunately I don't think the spirit of the people is broken yet with the exception of some od the disenfranchised.
I don't have any use for either the far right or the far left.We need government that is in the middle where we live.If I really truly knew of some way to help correct the problem besides talking to folks like yourselves I would be doing it.I have not always lived where I am living now.My roots go back about 200 years right where I am now but I never lived here before the early 90's.I can't find anyone around here to talk to about anything.I love Mississippi and there are many wonderful giving people here my wife and her family being part of that group.I can't talk to anyone around here about my fellings regarding Racism though except for my dear wife.I have become an outcast here because of my views on Race and especially because I will not fly nor honor the Confederate flag even though I have relatives that died on the Confederate side and are burried near where I live.The other side of the coin is that the people of this state give more than any other State to charity.Go figure.We are on the top of the list for having the highest number of most of the bad things like drunken driving fatalities and number of persons on the Government dole and on the other end of the spectrum we have the next to the lowest per capita income.Our State govenment is almost totally crippled and almost nothing comes out of any session.We have had more special sessions under this administration than any ever before and still are making very little progress.We are so divided in so many ways it amazes me when I think about it.One thing that we are united in though is when someones house burns down or other such happenings everyone pulls together and takes care of the problem.This even crosses racial lines.mississippitom
