I recently read a remark regarding Obama's trip to Copenhagen in which multiple planes were used. Arguments arose about the seeming hypocrisy of promoting "green" living while using the planes.
It broke my heart.
Not anything concerning the plane usage (I'll keep my opinion on that hushed for the time being). Nothing about that at all. I felt like I had entered a war zone. Back and forth people argued over the President's trip. We are such a divided nation. We can't even get along when our leader is selected. There's always something wrong.
If a Republican is elected, the Democrats count down until he's out of office. A Democrat, the Republicans count down. All the while, they each scrutinize the candidate, pointing out every fault (even diligently searching for them in any situation).
Truly, it seems impossible for one side to see anything redemptive in the other.
I find it hard to call this the "United" states.
Maybe one will come that will put an end to this division.
We certainly can't do it.
