Is it me or did the Independence of ATS become a rhetoric where now its filled with mostly Democrats and Republicans. It's like the Presidential
Elections never ended, I stop at one thread and its either your on the right or on the left, there is no more in-between.
You know how it is for an election. People like to pick sides like in a football game so that it becomes a huge contest where one side wins and the
other loses. As a result, most folks tend to polarize and compartmentalize their thinking so that the differences in the platforms and candidates
become more distinct.
I figure this is just a temporary thing, and as soon as Obama starts disappointing people, we can all get back to business as usual, which is with
everybody being cynical, mistrustful and discouraged at our government.
After all, politics is just a thin veneer over the top of large social and economic forces that nobody can really control.
